Fellowship of Reconciliation USA (FORusa) was predicated on a dream of living in a just world with social equality for all.

As the oldest and largest peace organization, with more than 125 local affiliates throughout the USA, we have been a part of the International Fellowship of Reconciliation’s (IFOR) global peace network since 1915. We address crisis-level civil and human rights issues through nonviolent activism, advocacy, education, and the empowering of individuals and local communities at the grassroots level. With a history spanning over 100 years and thousands of peace-seeking causes supported, FORusa’s success and longevity has been, in large part, due to our ability to adapt, by taking our core principles and applying it to the context of the times. We have long been a welcomed safe space for those who are marginalized and underrepresented to be able to connect with people who care and encourage them to tell their stories and help them have their voices heard.

Although FORusa has had a history of activism for global struggles, in such places as the Middle East and the Caribbean, in recent years, as the need has grown, we have shifted our main focus to the USA and the root causes of violence at home.
