I’ve been chopping up guns all day, and it feels so good… especially after a weekend with NINE mass shootings (more than 4 people shot). We are having a blacksmithing marathon at RAWtools ⚒️🔥🌱 - blacksmithing for 44,000 minutes this month… one minute for every life lost to guns

CHECK IT OUT! New article I just wrote comes out this weekend (and in Sunday’s paper) on police selling guns. Over 50,000 guns used in crime have been tracked back to law enforcement. This is exactly why we destroy every surrendered gun on the spot RAWtools ⚒️🔥🌱. This is a big deal

“We need a new process in Philadelphia and around the country to decommission — and destroy — guns.” Thoughtful oped by Shane Claiborne RAWtools ⚒️🔥🌱 responding to reporting by CBS The Trace Reveal on guns sold by police: cbsnews.com/police-selling… Oped: inquirer.com/opinion/commen…

It's an honor to collaborate with RAWtools ⚒️🔥🌱 & the artists at #NewLightsPress. Looking forward to the general disarmament!

Our team is ready: RAWtools ⚒️🔥🌱 Dr. Gil Monrose 🇻🇮🇱🇨 @FaithEndingGV Global Immersion #ccdapdx presenting on Implementing Change: Gun Violence Response and Prevention Beyond Politics.

We are excited to share the Clergy Led Gun Violence Prevention Starter Kit! This resource is designed to help faith-based groups take action against gun violence in our communities. Let's unite for a safer future! #ccdapdx #endgunviolence #goodstuff

Much 🧡 to Moms Demand Action for supporting Iowa's 1st Guns to Gardens event. The Presbyterian Peace Fellowship & RAWtools ⚒️🔥🌱 partnership provides gun owners an opportunity to safely surrender firearms. We destroyed 15 today. Thank you to FPC - Iowa City for hosting. My #GunViolencePrevention 🧡 is full.

WE DID IT! We bought the shop! Today we purchased the 3 story building we’ve been renting for RAWtools ⚒️🔥🌱 Philly. We have all sorts of dreams for this space. Now we are raising funds to renovate it! Give whatever you can here: philly.rawtools.org

Yesterday I learned how to transform a gun into a garden tool. It brought to mind the words of Anne Frank: “I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end” Thanks RAWtools ⚒️🔥🌱!

25% of all proceeds go to the radiant work of RAWtools ⚒️🔥🌱. Thank you to everyone who's bought a copy or has asked their library to do so.

The title to Natalie Grace’s ep on Smashing Idols isn’t the full picture. We also spent a good bit talking nonviolence, specifically mentioning Shane Claiborne and RAWtools ⚒️🔥🌱 as great resources. I really loved the veteran-to-pacifist perspective!!! 🎙️buff.ly/3EHw6O1
