Peace 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.
By mobilizing diverse constituencies though grassroots action we work to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons in the future while stopping the development, testing, spread and use of those weapons today; protect human rights around the world by controlling the global trade in lethal weapons; advance national spending priorities that meet the nation's real security and domestic needs; and promote resolution of international conflicts through cooperation and diplomacy.
Where we get our strength: You!
