Canadian Friends Service Committee’s book Are We Done Fighting? Building Understanding in a World of Hate and Division was published in May 2019 by New Society Publishers.

Since then, Peace Program Coordinator Matt Legge—who wrote the book with significant inputs from many different Friends as part of his work for CFSC—has given many presentations and done print, radio, and TV interviews. He has also facilitated many workshops using exercises found in the book (you can register for free for online workshops).

Below are links to some of the coverage the book has gotten.
