Share the Plate is a UCN program to support non-profit charitable organizations whose humanitarian and social justice goals reflect our UU principles.
CURRENT RECIPIENT
September - October, 2026
Nonviolent Peaceforce has been selected as the next Share the Plate recipient. This organization envisions a worldwide culture of peace in which conflicts between and within communities and countries are managed through nonviolent means. The ambitious mission of this organization is to protect civilians
in violent conflicts by providing unarmed strategies, building peace side-by-side with local communities, and advocating for the wider adoption of these approaches to protect human lives and dignity. This is particularly critical given the increase in violent conflict across the globe.
Nonviolent Peaceforce has an international reach, with US headquarters in Minneapolis. They are currently working on programs and advocacy in 15 countries. Examples of their range of actions include consulting with the United Nations Economic and Social Council, training over 70 community-based organizations in the US in nonviolent protection strategies and providing ballistic vests and helmets for frontline humanitarians in Ukraine.
Half of the donations for September and October will go to Nonviolent Peaceforce. You can donate using PayPal or Breeze at www.ucnorth.org. Checks should include “STP” on the memo line. Your generosity in support of nonviolent resistance is greatly appreciated!
