What is the fast for peace?
The fast for peace answers Gandhi’s challenge.
“The fifteenth is the day of our trial. Observe a fast on that day.”
The fast for peace promotes Gandhi’s lessons:
truth and nonviolence;
tolerance and voluntary temperance;
simplicity and self-control.
The fast for peace on the 15th is simple:
Just drink water for 24 hours.
No food, no intoxicants.
Put a peaceful intention in your day.
The fast is an open invitation for cooperation.
Peace is possible if we want it.

March’s #fastforpeace Charity
Each month, participants in the fast for peace are asked to donate the money they saved on food to a cause or charity that helps others. With hostilities continuing in Ukraine and Gaza, as well as in many other places around the world, World Beyond War has been nominated and selected as March’s #fastforpeace charity. Challenging the idea that war is natural or inevitable, they use education and nonviolent activism that moves the world toward ending war. Learn more and make a donation on their website: worldbeyondwar.org/donate
“Fasting is an age-old institution. We fast when we do not feel pure, we fast as a penance for our past.” ~ M.K. Gandhi
