Featured organizations

Ecumenical Coalition on Third World Tourism (ECTWT)

ECTWT is a Hong Kong-based coalition of regional ecumenical organizations and over 70 secular and faith-based groups.  It seeks to unite people around collective efforts that negate the undesirable effects of modern tourism and, in its place, institute socially responsible and ethically-oriented tourism.  It believes that tourism must be based on justice and sustainability for host communities and that, therefore, tourism planning and practice must be democratized.  ECTWT advocates respect for the protection and dignity of the human rights of women, children, and indigenous peoples and workers in the tourist trade.  It opposes tourism projects that create environmental devastation.

 

Ecumenical Program in Central America and the Caribbean (EPICA)

EPICA is a nonprofit, faith-based organization in solidarity with the poor of Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean.  EPICA has been a voice of solidarity and partner for grassroots organizations and churches in the Americas for more than 30 years, combining critical social analysis, theological reflection, and action for justice.

 

Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR)

FOR seeks to replace violence, war, racism, and economic injustice with nonviolence, peace, and justice. We are an interfaith organization committed to active nonviolence as a transforming way of life and as a means of radical change. We educate, train, build coalitions, and engage in nonviolent and compassionate actions locally, nationally, and globally.

 

Interfaith Center on Social Responsibility (ICCR)

ICCR is a thirty-year-old international coalition of 275 faith-based institutional investors including denominations, religious communities, pension funds, healthcare corporations, foundations and dioceses with combined portfolios worth an estimated $100 billion.  As responsible stewards, they merge social values with investment decisions, believing they must achieve more than an acceptable financial return.  ICCR members utilize religious investments and other resources to change unjust or harmful corporate policies, working for peace, economic justice and stewardship of the Earth.
