HistoryFor over fifty years Peace Action has made strides towards ending the nuclear threat, to create a more peaceful economy, and to support pragmatic and peaceful solutions to international conflicts. Peace Action originated in two accomplished disarmament and antiwar organizations, SANE and the Freeze, that were founded during the Cold War and merged in 1984. Peace Action West is the largest affiliate of Peace Action. Our work covers the western half of the U.S. Peace Action West works for smarter American approaches to global problems. If we want to address problems like war, poverty, global warming, terrorism -- the US needs to work together, cooperatively, with other nations. It also means overcoming the partisan politics and divisive rhetoric that often drown out alternatives to war. By getting regular Americans involved, we build the political will to make significant progress towards a peaceful world.SpecialtiesPeace Action West advocates for a foreign policy that embodies the best values of the American people. As a membership organization, we foster broad-based civic activism to create a strong voice for peaceful and pragmatic solutions to global problems. Our activities serve as a bridge between the public and the officials who make decisions that affect the lives of millions of people. Where we get our strength: You! Peace Action West is 98 percent funded by individual donors--people just like you. Our work can't happen without the leadership, grassroots activity and funding provided by our members and supporters. With a loud and united voice, we can create a safer, more peaceful, more just world for everyone.
