History
For more than fifty years, Peace Action has organized successful campaigns to end the nuclear threat, to create a more peaceful economy, and to support nonviolent resolutions to international conflicts. Peace Action originated
in two accomplished disarmament and antiwar organizations that were founded during the Cold War and which merged in 1987.
Peace Action
In 1987, SANE and the Freeze merged to form SANE/FREEZE. In 1993 the
organization changed its name to Peace Action. Peace Action has become the country's largest grassroots peace and justice network.
Peace Action's affiliate and chapter network organizes in local communities throughout the nation to educate the public and activate constituents in order to create more responsible US policies. Peace Action's efforts are currently focused on building a broad political base for a new US foreign policy based on a commitment to disarmament and resolving international conflict peacefully while upholding international cooperation and human rights.
In addition, Peace Action has led successful issue advocacy efforts in
congressional districts throughout the nation as part of its Peace Voter
Campaign. Peace Action's membership of over 100,000 has achieved victories
in successful campaigns to ban landmines, end nuclear weapons testing, cut
funding for Star Wars and new nuclear weapons and stop arms transfers to
nations that abuse human rights.Our continued success depends on a strong movement of concerned citizen members who represent key Congressional districts throughout the Nation. Help us build this movement by becoming a member TODAY.
