War Resisters' Stories

In a world where its easy to feel disillusioned in the ability,desires and actions of those in positions of power to make decisions for the good of humanity, we want to share some new ideas and offer an alternative path forward.

Our Nonviolence Programme has been writing a new book called New Worlds in Old Shells, which explores strategies for creating lasting social change by building the world we want to see right where we are and in so doing, transform and revolutionize the world around us.

All over the world there are examples of communities setting out to feed and educate themselves, make decisions together, and shape their own lives. Drawing on experiences of groups from around the world, New Worlds in Old Shells serves as a practical “handbook” filled with tools, ideas and questions. The book has been designed to prompt, guide, encourage and challenge those daring to imagine that a new world is possible.

Can you help us get it finished?

We’re almost there - the manuscript is ready, but we need your support to directly fund the final steps and publish the book: proofreading and design.

Can you help? Your donation - whether it’s £5 or £50 - will help us to get New Worlds in New Shells into the hands of change-makers that are ready to build something new through a radical and transformational approach. 

We’re aiming to raise £1000 by the end of March, so we can publish New Wolds in Old Shells by summer.
