In Memoriam President Emeritus William Sloane Coffin 1924 - 2006

This year, PeaceAction is celebrating 50 years since our founding in 1957 as the Committee for a SANE Nuclear Policy. To help us commemorate this special milestone, the following luminaries have joined together to form an Honorary Host Committee for our 50th anniversary events. We are so grateful for their ongoing support for Peace Action and the many ways in which each of them have used their talents to build a more just and peaceful world for all.
