Mass Peace Action

rally






Massachusetts Peace Action is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, grassroots membership organization working to develop the sustained political power to foster a just and peaceful foreign policy
. Though grassroots organizing, policy advocacy, and community education, we promote human rights and global cooperation, and seek nuclear abolition and an end to armed conflicts and war.
