We could not do this work without you. Our work today is informed by relevant ‘herstory’ about WILPF’s peace advocacy and translated into current solidarity actions.
Walking the Walk and Talking the Talk of Peace for 100 Years
Jane Addams, one of WILPF’s founders and first US president, wrote about WILPF’s members’ unwavering commitment to peace in 1922, amid similar escalating tensions:
“...it seemed to me… that all of our members in their daily walk
and conversation had been bearing unequivocal testimony
against war and its methods.”
– from Peace and Bread in Time of War
Now in 2022, we remember our foremothers’ legacy and say:
“The situation in Ukraine and on the international scene shows us
that, once again, war cannot and will never be a solution for
peace and stability….”
