We are all feeling the pinch.
* It's wars abroad and violence in our neighborhoods
* It's climate change
* it's patriarchy and gender-based violence
But not only that,
* It's rising autocracies around the world and the instability of democracies
* It's extremist rhetoric and actions
* It's food insecurity

OMNIA trains religious, civic and business leaders, and citizens to become powerful actors for justice and peace in their own communities and around the world.
They form OMNIA Peacemaker Teams where members collaborate across differences, build power, and act strategically on issues that arise from the grassroots of their communities. Clear-eyed evaluations of power result in teams acting only on those issues that are urgent, relevant, and winnable, ensuring victories.
