DISARMAMENT and PEACE POLICIES

Over the years we have had consistent actions around disarmament.

  1. We are part of a local vigil on affirming peace and protesting war every Tuesday Noon to One in front of the Federal Building/Post office on Liberty and Fifth street
     
  2. We organize various educational programs throughout the year. See Calendar.
     
  3. We have Eye on Congress, an alert system that follows bills and resolutions in Congress and we publish these alert in our newsletter, we write letters that follows and protest the issues that are brought to our attention.
         
  4. We have an annual action on tax day: April 15, in front of the Federal Building, we are protesting the large amount of our taxes that is going towards military expenditure and nuclear weapons upkeep. We would like to see our tax money redirected towards people 's need such as health care, childcare, education, and the environment. We feel that security is based as well on the well being of the entire community.
     
  5. We also have made a video at the Art fair interviewing 150 people who told us in a 15 seconds clip: " what Peace Means to Me" This is part of our new campaign called: " Listen to People for a Change."
     
  6. One of our members has developed the war project to describe current wars
