I was among nearly 1,000 activists at the Poor People's Moral Action Congress held June 17-19, 2019, which included a Presidential Candidates Forum, workshops, and presenting a "Moral Budget."
National WILPF leaders are already preparing to play an influential role in the 2020 elections. You can be involved in many different ways...here's how!
Earth Democracy and WILPF US recently agreed to join the Amicus Brief for Our Children's Trust's
Juliana v United States lawsuit to secure the legal right to a safe climate for present and future generations.
Email your signed petitions and statements of solidarity to atomic survivors, or offer a speaking venue in California, before the Disarm delegation's trip to Hiroshima and Nagasaki commemorations in August.
The Greater Philadelphia Branch presented Genie Silver, a WILPF member since 1973, with its 2019 Peace and Justice Dove Award at a reception on June 9, 2019.
Our two generous donors have allowed us to EXTEND the length of their Spring Appeal matching gift through August 15th (up to $25,000)! Don't wait to contribute...your gift to WILPF will go twice as far during this time.
Several members of the East Bay and San Francisco branches of WILPF have joined with other women activists and veterans to form "Before Enlisting," a group to counter military recruitment in high schools.
Our numbers make a difference! Our membership development committee is planning for a New Member Drive that will invite branches to help network and share resources.
The WILPF US Middle East Committee continues to urge all members and branches to take action to oppose war with Iran. Please do all you can to prevent any military escalation!
