Politicians and business executives have led us to the brink of possible species-ending destruction through war. It’s time we pulled ourselves back before it’s too late. The survival of life on our planet depends on our organizing against violence and building a long-term and sustainable peace movement.

We are peace-working people who rebuke the culture of violence that the U.S. empire spreads throughout the world. We are committed to making peace a first-order priority rather than an after-the-fact resolution to conflict. We imagine a future beyond war, beyond violence, beyond injustice.

A peaceful world is within our reach. We need only extend our arms, together, to take hold of it and experience it. We will pull back the veil on militarism and senseless violence and demand accountability. We will carry out our mission through popular education and direct action.
