Peace demands action.

Peace Action works for smarter approaches to global problems. If we want to create change in problems like war, the nuclear threat, poverty, climate change, and terrorism, then the U.S. needs to work together, cooperatively, with other nations. By getting people and communities around the country involved, we build the political will needed to make progress. Our success comes from educating and empowering people to engage in foreign policy issues like no other organization.

We envision a world where all beings are free from the threat of war and oppression. We stand together as one human family to resolve conflicts peacefully and to support human rights for all.
