ABOUT PREEMPTIVE LOVE COALITION:

Violence unmakes the world. Preemptive Love Coalition (PLC) is a global movement of peacemakers committed to unmaking violence by confronting fear with acts of love. Our coalition stretches across Iraq, Syria, the United States, and beyond, working together to create the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible. We meet families on the frontlines of conflict, providing them lifesaving food, water, and medical care. We give them what they need to hold on and hold out.

We continue to stand with our friends across the globe as they recover, once the dust settles—showing them they are not forgotten. After living under oppressive violence and conflict, we help them restore their health, rebuild their houses, redevelop infrastructure. Because with stability comes hope. We create jobs for those victimized by ISIS—providing long-term opportunities rather than handouts through small business grants, tools, and coaching—equipping families to write new, hopeful stories about their futures.

It’s one thing to help people survive. But helping them flourish in the face of hardship? That’s how we unmake violence. That’s how we create a more beautiful world together.
