Worldwide, people from all walks of life are finding creative ways to oppose war and promote peace, justice, and sustainability. Culture is fertile terrain for this struggle. Education that nourishes a critical mind and fortifies the soul is just as essential.
Cultures of Resistance.org is the outreach website of the Cultures of Resistance Network, which aims to promote and support organizations, activists, and artists who seek a more peaceful, just, and democratic world. The CoR Network was created by iara lee, director of Cultures of Resistance Films (visit the film website here), as a way of supporting people wishing to take action around peace and justice issues. This website exists as a space in which people can learn about the inspiring members of our network and find ways to join their global justice campaigns. For updates on our work and the groups that we support, sign up for our mailing list here.
