Who We Are
A grassroots movement for peace and justice.
Through grassroots organizing, policy advocacy, and community education, we promote human rights and global cooperation, seek an end to war and the spread of nuclear weapons, and support budget priorities that redirect excessive military spending toward human and environmental needs.
We are an affiliate of Peace Action, the nation’s largest grassroots peace and disarmament membership organization, with more than 100,000 members and 30 chapters across the country.
Our work connects local organizing in Massachusetts with national campaigns for diplomacy, disarmament, justice, and peace.
Our Vision
We share a vision of world peace in which:
- The menace of nuclear weapons has forever been erased from our planet.
- War has been abolished as a method of solving conflicts.
- All human beings are assured the means to live in health and dignity.
- No one is denied the opportunity to participate in decisions that affect the common good.
