At our annual meeting Santa Cruz WILPF decided to focus for a year on Jane Addams and the Centennial of WILPF -2015. The concept is to connect in a wide variety of ways with 100 years of our WILPF history, and confront the “now what?” as a Jane Addams replica appears all over town to be interviewed about the here and now of WILPF.

Begin October with Keep Space for Peace Week and banning militarized drones, then follow the General Assembly First Committee on Disarmament. Observe United Nations Day October 24, followed by UN Disarmament Week and the new global campaign to get military education out of our schools!
Actually, we begin on October 2 with a day of centering, reflection, deepening and inward preparation. That day marks Gandhi’s birthday and is the UN Day for Nonviolence.
