I believe that hope for the future depends on each of us taking nonviolence into our hearts and minds and developing new and imaginative structures which are nonviolent and life-giving for all.

We need radical thinking, creative ideas, and imagination.

Once we link up and network, there will be new institutions, new beginnings, and a change in the economy because capitalism is destroying many people's lives. It's just one leap to think in a different way.

We need human security: food, education, health care for our children.

The vast majority of people have never hurt anybody in their lives, don't want killing, don't want wars. In all the countries of the world, they just want to love their families and get on with their lives.

The experience of a lot of us women is that too much money is being spent on militarism and war.

We need now to build a culture of genuine nonviolence and real democracy.
