Curry For Peace strives to end racially, religiously, and ethnically based violence by bringing those of different backgrounds together literally at the table for a shared meal, in the belief that those who break bread together may be able to come to better understanding of each other.
Curry For Peace is a nonviolent protest movement against ethnic, religious, and racial violence, specifically targeting those people whose cultures are associated with curry-style foods. The movement was created in March of 2010, in reaction to Stonebridge Apartments in Texas denying leases to "curry people", meaning (according to the property manager) anyone who looks Middle Eastern or Asian, or dresses in styles traditionally associated with Muslims, and who cooks with curry or similar spices. Curry For Peace is now international, with people participating in the United States, Singapore, Denmark, the UK, and Germany, and is allied with Australia's Vindaloos Against Violence, which partly inspired our movement. We meet on the second Friday of each month, preferably at a public place such as a curry-themed restaurant, to show solidarity among fellow lovers of spicy food, and to learn about each others' cultures, religions, and national histories, because fear is often born of ignorance.
