An alert from the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom US

America’s 250th Anniversary

Still Striving for Peace & Freedom

Dear WILPF US Members and Friends,


As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, we’ve watched many prepare for celebrations. At WILPF US, we're taking this moment to ask a different question:


After 250 years, are we living up to the promises of peace & freedom?


For generations, WILPF members have been challenging the idea that peace can be achieved through militarism and war. Instead, we advocate for human rights, dignity, disarmament, justice, and nonviolence. That’s why we are announcing our next campaign America’s 250th Anniversary: Still Striving for Peace & Freedom.

 

On our Campaign page, you will find:

  • Detailed Constitutional Analysis written by WILPF Member Trudy Reagan - to spark community conversations on which promises are being upheld and which are not
  • Shareable campaign graphics for protest posters, events and to share on your socials
  • Tip Sheet with creative activities and ideas you can use to engage your community year round

 

Explore the toolkit and bring the campaign to life wherever you are. Whether you're planning an event for Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, or your next branch meeting, this campaign offers simple and meaningful ways to spark conversation and inspire action.

In peace,

Linda Low
