Peace Action is the nation's largest grass roots organization. It was founded as SANE (later to become SANE/Freeze) in 1957. Our goals are:
- Abolish Nuclear War
- Promote a more peaceful economy
- Bring an end to weapons trafficking
- Encourage non-military solutions to international conflicts.
- Promote conflict resolution at all levels.
Peace Action's national headquarters are in Washington D.C. Policies are decided democratically at annual national conferences and through a Board of Directors elected by the grassroots affiliates.
The Northern New Jersey Affiliate, always one of the nation's most active groups, is based in Montclair with chapters throughout the state local communities.
What we do...
- We lobby for policy changes in Congress, the United Nations, Trenton and in towns like yours.
- We educate and publish a hotline on federal legislation and annual voting records for every member of congress on peace and justice issues. We print fact sheets to better inform the public, hold public meetings on important issues and speak out in the press.
- We promote conflict resolution programs in New Jersey Schools and encourage future generations to solve problems.
