An urgent alert from the US Section of the
Women's International League for Peace and Freedom
Winter/Spring issue of Peace & Freedom magazine now available online
And only online. This is the first issue of Peace & Freedom that will not be published in print. Our strategy is to alternate between digital-only (like this issue) and a print/digital issue (like past issues.) This will allow us to publish this important magazine more frequently, and save on costly printing and distribution expenses.

This issue is packed with articles on themes important to the WILPF community including a report on moving money from weapons of mass extinction to green technologies by Vicky Elson from the Disarm/End Wars Committee, what a U.S. feminist foreign policy might look like by Val Maghadam from the Boston Branch, an in-depth look at the struggle of grassroots activits in Colombia by Leni Villagomez Reeves from the Cuba and Bolivarian Alliance Committee, the misery brought about by the separation wall in Israel/Palestine by Odile Hugonot Haber from the Middle East Peace and Justice Action Committee, and many other articles that provide important insights about progressive movements and WILPF's ongoing efforts to advocate for peace and justice.

To sum up the issue, WILPF US President Darien De Lu says in her opening letter, "Bringing 100+ years of experience and an informed analysis to the peace and justice movement, we can unite with others on widened initiatives for disarmament and diplomacy."
