Our nation has been through a variety of horrific events surrounding gun violence, and it has brought the conversation to the forefront of our current events and “water cooler” conversations. It has largely become a binary conversation of either more guns or more laws. RAWtools wants to open a new option, a third way: What if we made a commitment to solve our problems without guns and violence?

​

​Turning guns into garden tools is at the center of the work of RAWtools. It connects our programs and enables storytelling—stories of magnificent transformation as well as the deep trauma of grief and loss.

​

We are excited to announce that we  have a RAWtools branch right here in Trenton, NJ!

​

Shop Hours: Fridays & Ssturdays at 1PM! (weather permitting)​​​​​

 

Each year we have a special challenge and this year is focused on children. Gun Violence is the leading cause of death for age 18 and under. Toys, garden tools, games, will be made!

 

This also ties into the recent release of the children's book,  Sparking Peace, by Teresa Kim Pecinovsky and Hannah Rose Martin, which includes a guide to help talk to children about gun violence.
