Join Us This October
Join Red Letter Christians, RAWtools Philly, the National Peacemaker Association, and partners from across the country for the 3rd Annual Peacemaker Summit.
You’ll hear from people on the front lines of peacemaking — practitioners, community leaders, faith leaders, artists, violence interrupters, and organizers who are working every day to interrupt violence in our streets, neighborhoods, schools, and communities.
The Summit features keynote speakers, live music, practical workshops, and hands-on demonstrations focused on peacemaking, restorative justice, conflict transformation, and community safety.

- Community violence prevention
- Hands-on demonstrations with RAWtools Philly, transforming weapons into tools for healing and hope
- Worship, music, storytelling, and community-building

We’re also offering dedicated children’s programming throughout the Summit. Children ages 12 and under register free, so families engaged in the work of peace and justice can come together.
