Starting the Conversation about Peace
Friends from Mancos, CO promote FCNL at a local fair.
Putting a War Is Not the Answer sign in your yard or your window, sticking a bumper sticker version on your car, or wearing a War Is Not the Answer button are all ways to show you support peace.
They’re also likely to cause some comment from the person who parks next to you in the lot, the person behind you in the grocery checkout line, and the people who live in your neighborhood.
Here are some ideas of how FCNL supporters have answered common reactions to War Is Not the Answer materials, such as “If War Is Not the Answer, what is?” and “What’s the question?”
Finding Hope in Unexpected Places
