Connecting with Poor People’s Campaign and Move the Money Campaign

Disarm-End Wars #End the Whole Nuclear Era Campaign Connects with the Poor People's Campaign—and also with our Move the Money Campaign from our Women, Peace, and Security Agenda. We welcome and support the excellent work being done by Mary Bricker-Jenkins and her ad hoc committee and encourage all to sign up at WILPF4PPC@gmail.com to be in the loop with information on the PPC.

UNAC Spring Days of Action

We are actively planning for, participating in and supporting the UNAC Spring Days of Action the weekend of April 14-15, 2018. We know of major actions planned in Chicago, Minneapolis, the San Francisco Bay Area, and elsewhere. These April actions have come out of the no-US-military-bases-on-foreign-soil coalition and the conference in Baltimore last January. See noforeignbases.org for more information on the coalition.

To endorse, send info on your local action, and see what’s happening near you, use this website. Let us know what you are doing locally or ask questions to Ellen Thomas, email below.
