At the Voluntown Peace Trust (VPT), we are committed to those who benefit least from the current structure of society-especially people struggling against racial, sexual, gender, environmental, and economic injustice. VPT understands that "building a new society within the shell of the old" starts here-in our garden and our community, in our actions and our rest, in our work and our relationships.
