THE SWORDS TO PLOWSHARES PROGRAM BEGAN IN JANUARY 2017.

This program is focused on reducing gun violence in the communities in which our events take place. With 40,000 gun deaths per year in our country, something must be done now. The strategy we apply to this problem is to convert weapons of death into tools of life, and then use those tools to the betterment of the community. All with the goal of reducing senseless gun deaths. Following in the footsteps of organizations like lead to life led by brontë velez + Kyle Lemle in July 2016 , whose work was inspired by Mexican artist Pedro Reyes’ projects Disarm and Palas por Pistolas - in which he transforms weapons into shovels and instruments.

Join us on Saturday for a live demonstration and presentation to local organizations, including us!!!!
