Organizations in the U.S.
The Anti-War Committee began in Minneapolis in December 1998, with 13 people who committed civil disobedience to protest the bombing of Iraq. We educate ourselves and the community about the injustices of U.S. foreign policy. We work to organize a broad-based peace and social justice movement which stands in solidarity with those communities, here and abroad, who are unjustly and cruelly affected by U.S. foreign policies. Our values are manifest in our core principles of self-determination for all oppressed peoples and countries, and peace through justice.
Women Against Military Madness
WAMM is hundreds of women and men empowered to make social change through volunteer activism! WAMM is a nonviolent feminist organization that works in solidarity with others to create a system of social equality, self-determination and justice through education and empowerment of women. WAMM's purpose is to dismantle systems of militarism and global oppression. Since September 11, 2001, WAMM has been focused on opposing the “war on terrorism” in all its forms, including attacks on the civil liberties of immigrants and activists. A new committee has formed to expose the danger of depleted uranium munitions, and we expanded WAMM staff hours to allow us to do a larger amount of program work.
