About FCPJ

The Florida Coalition for Peace & Justice holds a common belief that change is possible and that we can be a channel of that change.  We recognize that violence feeds violence. We attempt to bring about harmony and balance in our lives and in our world.

Through its activities at the Teaching Farm and the EcoVillage, FCPJ is working to become a living laboratory which researches and models sustainable living. We strive to be the very change we seek in the world.  Our guideposts include: a fundamental belief in the power of the human creativity to resolve conflicts humanely and justly, an awareness of our need to be tolerant and respectful of each other, and to live in a mutually enhancing relationship with the total community of life.  

 FCPJ was founded in 1982 as a network of local groups across the state who shared a commitment to world peace and social justice.  FCPJ attempts to connect the dots between environmental/ecological degradation and the abuse and control of the earth’s resources which bring about racial and economic injustice, war and a dysfunctional social order.  Working together, we can promote a more sustainable, just, humane, and compassionate society through education and action.
