Originally named the Rabbi Marc H. Tanenbaum Foundation, the organization started by focusing on promoting studies aimed at ending religious bias.
Since its founding, Tanenbaum has focused on how these biases play out in the real world – in schools, workplaces, health care settings and conflict areas – designing practical programs to overcome religious intolerance and prevent religiously-motivated violence.
Tanenbaum's Peacemakers in Action Network is a group of individuals who are fighting violence and intolerance in some of the most dangerous conflict areas around the world.
The Network allows these men and women to help share information and ideas, coordinate on-the-ground interventions and help each other get out of harm.
