In WILPF, we meet virtually, educate and organize with our allies, and see change coming:

  • Young people are in the streets, dedicated to the ideals of climate solutions and racial justice! » And WILPF members are supporting them and finding new ways to join them.
  • 170 nations have signed the Treaty to Ban Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). » WILPF is keeping the pressure on the U.S. to sign and ratify! 
  • After more than 400 years, we in the US are waking up to the systemic racism and rigged economy that keeps so many people poor. » WILPF members stand with the Poor People’s Campaign and Black Lives Matter, to join in the peaceful transition to justice.

Your gift now means we can organize to:

  • Continue our advocacy for the U.S. to sign the TPNW.
  • Stand up to the military’s ongoing planetary devastation, from the battle fields overseas to the military bases and dumps in U.S. low-income communities.
  • Educate and organize, locally and across the country: No to endless war and military profiteering!
  • Advocate for wages for women caring for the sick, elders, and children during the worst of the COVID pandemic and beyond.
  • Push Congress to address human needs and the needs of Mother Nature amid the fires, floods, and storms of climate crisis.
  • Close the loopholes that allow corporations to buy our government.
 
A huge international success – with more work needed domestically!
End the nuclear era
In 2021 we who yearn for peace celebrated a huge win! On January 22, 2021, the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons became international law! A leading figure in the Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, Setsuko Thurlow, said it well,:
“This is the beginning of the end of nuclear weapons… Nuclear weapons have always been immoral; now they are illegal. Together, let us go forward and change the world”.
 
With a new, more sane President in DC, WILPF is investing in solutions for the future of the planet. We’re finding new ways to support treaties and diplomacy – and democracy itself – amid unprecedented attacks and threats.
 
Thank you for supporting our advocacy and organizing. WILPF’s particular brand of caring for one another, advocacy, long-term relationship-building, and solidarity matters more than ever. Our members across the U.S. know we can create the world we want – a world of feminist peace, human rights, and economic solutions – when we Move the Money away from war.
 
With our Building Branches from the Inside Out branch support program, the One by One, We Grow membership drive, and our reference list of study resources on racial justice, our members are accomplishing more together.
 
Our national Congress attracted hundreds of energized and inspired attendees. The commitment of our members and allies infused the sessions with optimism and engagement. View the recorded sessions here to get energized.
 
With three new and predominantly Black branches in the Southeast, we’re lifting up women-led solutions with the power to disrupt and change the system.
 
WILPF also connects across borders; we collaborate with our WILPF sisters internationally and with allies on environment and peace issues.
 
Please support the work of your heart before January.
