We're 13 years old! Maybe we'll have more of a rebellious spirit this year! This is the first firearm donated to us in February of 2013, an AK-47. Since then, we have destroyed thousands more in Colorado and built a national Guns to Gardens network with partners that has safe spaces for folx to get rid of unwanted firearms, including RAWtools affiliates in Philly, RAWtools Buffalo, and RAWtools South. Most importantly, we've created safe spaces for survivors to be a part of the process of transforming a gun into a garden tool or art to help with their grief and healing. We are feeling the tightening availability of grant funding, having lost some in 2025-2026 cycles connected to tightened budgets amidst national program cuts. Even when grants are available, donor gifts are the best way to financially support our work. Please consider a one-time gift or becoming a recurring donor. Ongoing Gifts make a difference! Upcoming RAWtools Affiliate Events Safe Disposal Events April 18 Dallas, TX April 25 Charleston, WV May 9 Denver, CO May 30 Charlotte, NC June 13 Raleigh, NC Arts, Recreation & Worship Conference May 4-8 Montreat, NC Testimony from a Gun Donor: I spent the first night of 2026 reading Roger Ebert’s review of “Seven Samurai.” One line in particular struck a nerve: his observation that as long as people are armed, they remain a constant threat to order. That sentence triggered a wave of cognitive dissonance. I had to ask myself: how can I truly pursue a life of peace within this "global village" if I am harboring the very threat of violence in my own home? I realized then that I was carrying a burden I no longer wanted. When I first purchased my firearm, I used the standard justification: it was for "home protection," the same reason cited by the majority of Americans. But I saw now that I was merely subsidizing an industry that has been far more destructive to my community than beneficial. I had unwittingly adopted a generational mindset of distrust—a philosophy of preparing for a "worst-case scenario" that, ironically, often precipitates the very violence it claims to prevent. The math no longer added up; the risks of keeping the weapon far outweighed the perceived benefits. I recognized that it is not my burden to maintain social order through armed vigilance. I am not a soldier, and I do not need to live like one. Choosing to part with it is more than a safety decision; it is a philosophical stance. To live coherently with my values, I must let go of the tools of destruction. I would much rather see that metal forged into a tool that helps life grow, rather than one designed to end it. RAWtools Buffalo As the leaders of our world drop bombs, our children in Niagara Falls make “Peace bombs.” Usually known as “Seed bombs,” they’re small, hand-rolled balls made from a mixture of clay, compost, and seeds, used for gardening to green neglected areas and enhance landscapes. They were used in the 1970’s to beautify vacant lots in NYC. PS - Rawtools Buffalo is officially recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization! RAWtools South We are “pickin and grinnin”! The barrel of a donated gun was flattened and cut into more than a dozen guitar picks. We love the sound of beautiful music replacing the sound of war. Watch the Picks for Peace video on our Facebook p age! The shop is always open for Spring Gardening tools! Support Us Here! Copyright (C) 2026 RAWtools. All rights reserved.

Make a YEAR END donation to help us maintain these programs across the country. The Unsung Anvil by board member Emily Bruno “…This is what I want to say about swords-to-plowshares… that is more than just the literal act of dismantling a gun and transforming it, powerful as that aspect is. It is more than just the symbolism as it relates to gun violence in this country. It is a way of being and relating to one another that turns all our swords, real and metaphorical, into newness and life, and it’s hard work we have to choose to invest in every single day… To beat something like a sword or a gun into a plowshare, you have to soften it. It has to become so soft that it can be re-formed into something new, which isn’t to say you melt it down into nothing and pour liquified metal into a wholly unrecognizable mold. You have to work with its existing shape.” Read the whole essay here Year End Gifts make a difference!

We heard from Rev. Munther Isaac zooming in from Palestine, Lisa Sharon Harper, Rev. Sharon Risher, Rev. Hope Christiansen, Dr. Jer Swigart, Diana Oestreich, and enjoyed music from common Hymnal and John Francis O’Mara. Over 100 folks attended this intimate and accessible gathering to learn peacemaking skills and take them back to their community. Keep a lookout for info on next year’s summit in the fall! RAWtools Buffalo This year our Junior Peacemakers from Public School 65 will learn about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 6 principles of non-violence.

Upcoming Events Safe Disposal Events November 15 Oakland, CA December 13 Highlands Ranch, CO Firearm Safety Officer Training November 19-20 Philadelphia, PA “I'm a United Methodist pastor. I bought this gun when I was in my 20s. I had a masculine ideology that led me to believe it was a good idea. Recently, I realized I don't want this in my house. I was being stubborn, hanging on to it for some belief that it gave me street cred amongst conservative Christians. But, realistically, I was hanging on to it for some nostalgic reason. I don't want it in my house, I don't want to sell it, I don't want it available. I preached a sermon on it; someone emailed me and said it was just virtue signaling. I disagree, it's one less weapon out in the world. And there's nothing ‘signaled’ there. It's a real practical step in the right direction. Thank you for being a part of my own healing story.” -Kyle, on why he became a gun donor RAWtools South is getting creative! “This sculpture’s cruciform is made with three bolts from lever action rifles, and the base is from the forestock of a pump action shotgun. It is a reminder that we are called to bolt into action for our core beliefs. It represents both the cross and a person stepping out with their arms ready to give a helping hand… Stepping out to love my neighbors; to stand up against the powers and principalities of this world and speak the truth of the Gospel; to oppose war and violence in all its forms.” -Scotty Sparking Peace ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ on Amazon! Here’s what one reviewer wrote: “As a progressive Christian pastor and parent, trying to raise my kids with the value of nonviolence in an incredibly violent world, this book is a revelation. The double-layered metaphor of turning this hurt into hope hit me hard - I cried! … I highly recommend this book as an age-appropriate way to engage conversations about restorative justice and nonviolence for a wide span of ages.” RAWtools and Guns to Gardens Metro Denver hosted a Volunteer Appreciation Day in August and a Safe Disposal event in September in Aurora, CO, where 64 firearms were destroyed. The ripple effects of federal budget cuts have impacted state budgets, and as a result we have lost funding for planned Safe Disposal events in Colorado. Please consider donating so we can continue offering a safe place to dispose of unwanted firearms. Hosting one event costs $7,000 to $10,000. Our shop is always open! Give Now!

Combined, we are laboring 40,000 minutes this month for each life lost to gun violence in 2024. We’re still making garden tools, but our challenge to our makers this year was to make something with kids out of destroyed guns. See below for a few highlights of what has been made so far and follow us on Instagram and Facebook for updates! Also, click on the picture above to order your copy of the new Children’s book, Sparking Peace by Teresa Kim Pecinovsky and Hannah Rose Martin, illustrated by Gabhor Utomo. A story of transformation and hope with a guide to help have caregivers have conversations with children about gun violence. Like many others, we’re feeling the pinch from grant funding cuts.

This network has grown significantly over that past 2 years and has officially become a part of the RAWtools programming. If you have been a part of our disarming network, you have been automatically added to this network. If you have been a part of our blacksmith and makers network, you have been added to this network, too! Initially started as an organic network of organizations coordinating buybacks and events for people to safely dispose of unwanted firearms, Guns to Gardens is now highly active across the country thanks to our training partners at Presbyterian Peace Fellowship and the work of Swords to Plowshares Northeast, New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence, and Gun by Gun, God Before Guns, RAWtools South, and many others. As we have gathered participants form all of these networks we know some emails are falling through the cracks. If this is your first time hearing of this meeting and you have been a part of the networks mentioned above and you are able to attend on May 7, please fill out this form to get access to the zoom meeting info and let us know if you want a second call scheduled. If this info is new to you, but you want to find out more and join the network, please fill out this form and check out Presbyterian Peace Fellowship for opportunities to learn how to host a safe disposal event in your area.

Broken into beautiful. A story of friendship and healing with a connection to RAWtools After breaking a neighbor’s window, a young child discovers friendship, transformation, and new beginnings in an unlikely story of peace. Gentle and moving, this poetic tale offers readers a hopeful path in the face of gun violence and despair, showing kids how peacemaking can turn conflict into friendship and new beginnings—and forge guns into garden tools. Children grow up with lockdowns and gun violence as part of their reality. As parents, caregivers, and educators, how should we respond? Sparking Peace provides a springboard for those seeking to discuss gun violence and trauma with children in a safe way that highlights help rather than harm. This picture book helps children learn about conflict while also carefully addressing gun violence and peacemaking. It includes resources that equip parents and educators to talk about gun violence and trauma, using a story of a broken window to show kids how conflict can be transformed through acts of peace. Suggested reading for ages 5–9. Buy From Herald Press Book Launch in Colorado Springs Copyright (C) 2025 RAWtools. All rights reserved.
