Stories of Those Who Inspired Us: Supporters and Partners

Share

Throughout the coming year, September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows will shine a light on the work of others around the world who have been similarly affected by terrorism, political violence and war, and have also chosen to work for peace and nonviolence. These individuals, in Japan, South Africa, Rwanda, Northern Ireland, Israel, Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere have inspired us and taught us valuable lessons. We believe that our collaborations will continue to be a significant force promoting alternatives to violence and war, and supporting lawful and reasoned responses to terrorism.
