Peace for Life is people of faith from countries of the global South-Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Latin America, Africa-along with those from North America and Europe, coming together as Peace for Life-a global faith-based movement resisting militarised globalisation and creating life-enhancing alternatives.

Initially conceived as a mainly-Christian ecumenical initiative in solidarity with other faith groups, Peace for Life was affirmed as a place for people whose varied spiritualities-regardless of creed-are nurtured as collective resource for resistance to all forms of injustice. PFL join together to call on people of all faiths and convictions to speak out and rise up against the violence, fear, and greed that drive empire.

PFL condemns and resist all forms of injustice, including

• The displacement of peoples from their lands and livelihoods by transnational corporations.
  
  
• The plunder of earth's resources and the exploitation of life forms by global corporations.
  
  
• Threats against indigenous peoples and their traditional lands and life ways.
  
  
• The violence of the armed against the unarmed, which devastates the lives of communities across the globe.
  
  
  

PFL stands for

• Freedom from occupation by military forces in Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq, and anywhere;
  
  
• Gender justice and women's leadership in peacemaking at all levels;
  
  
• The protection of religious, racial, ethnic minorities and other marginalised communities from all forms of discrimination, persecution, and violence;
  
  
• Respect and the celebration of God's gift of diversity—each of our many cultures and religions contributing to the fullness of peace for life for all; economic systems and financial institutions that place people and the environment before profits and in which decisions are made by those most affected;
  
  
• Food security for all;
  
  
• The rights and well-being of children who are most vulnerable to war and exploitation;
  
  
• Respect and recognition of the aspirations and efforts of self-determining peoples.

PFL stands with a variety of networks, alliances, and movements where the poor, deprived and marginalised play a central leadership role. We draw strength in sharing one another's grassroots stories and experiences to inspire, motivate, sustain and transform us in our struggle for just and lasting peace. We celebrate people's victories, however small, as moments that foster an ethic and spirituality for overcoming empire.

PFL Hope

PFL hopes that a new world is not only possible but is already being built through people's movements, through solidarity among people of the South and the people of differing faiths and convictions, and through our common struggles to realise for all humanity and all creation peace for justice and life.
