We Are Today’s Peace Movement
Peace Action works for smarter approaches to global problems. If we want to address problems like war, the nuclear threat, poverty, climate change, and terrorism – the U.S. needs to work together, cooperatively, with other nations. We also need to overcome the partisan politics and divisive rhetoric that often drown out alternatives to war. By getting people and communities around the country involved, we build the political will needed to break through that deadlock. Our success comes from empowering people to engage in foreign policy issues like no other organization.

Congress: Not One More Dime For War With Iran
The Trump administration is preparing a supplemental Iran war funding request for Congress. Reports now say a supplemental request could come in at $200 billion or more – and that’s just the beginning!
We demand ZERO dollars for additional war funding! This is how we end wars, much like what happened to end the Vietnam and Iraq Wars. Contact your members of Congress today and urge them to hold the line by voting NO for any supplemental Iran War funding!!!

Block the Bombs Act
Since the beginning of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza in October 2023, the US has given more than $30 billion in taxpayer-funded weapons to Israel to enable its atrocities.
The US is not only complicit in Israel’s killing of more than 65,000 Palestinians–our weapons make us partners in crime.
As Israel escalates its genocidal violence by killing and starving Palestinians, and by driving them from their homes, it’s time to Block the Bombs!
Representatives Delia Ramirez, Sara Jacobs, Pramila Jayapal, and Mark Pocan, along with 18 colleagues, publicly announced the introduction of a historic bill in Congress to do just that.

Gaza Ceasefire Now
Neither the terrible attacks by Hamas on October 7 nor the brutal Israeli response in Gaza will bring justice to either Israelis or the Palestinian people. What is needed right now is a permanent ceasefire to prioritize de-escalating the violence, safeguarding people’s lives, reuniting hostages with their loved ones, and pushing decision-makers to enact solutions that promote the mutual recognition of everyone’s humanity.
Global Flashpoints: Conflict Prevention and Diplomacy
We need less saber-rattling and more diplomacy, cooperation, and conflict prevention. Only growing international cooperation can help tackle the common threats we face — growing threats from pandemics and disease, catastrophic climate change, the scourge of nuclear weapons, violent extremism, economic inequality, and more. Achieving peace and enhanced security would be much cheaper and in the beneficial interest of us all.
Ending U.S. Complicity in Gross Human Rights Violations
Our campaigns are focused on some of the worst human rights crises in the world and where U.S. policy is making the problem worse such as Israel and Palestine, Yemen, and Afghanistan. Because U.S. policy is a significant driver of these human-made humanitarian crises, U.S. activists can play an outsized role in changing course in a way that makes the world a better place while enhancing U.S. and global security.
Fighting For a Nuclear Weapons-Free World
Since our founding as the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy in 1957, Peace Action has tirelessly worked for a world free from the scourge of nuclear weapons. Help us advance that goal and decrease the threat of nuclear weapons today!

Amazing! The House just passed a War Powers Act resolution to end the Iran war! It must now go to the Senate, but it won't need a signature from Trump.
This is the furthest any WPR has gone against the Iran war!
A major defeat for those who wish to continue the war, although
Republicans just shut down voting on the Iran War Powers Resolution the instant they knew they'd lose.
Americans have had enough with this war in Iran. It's time we force Trump to end it.
@RepJayapal: "Republicans just called off the vote on a war powers resolution because they were afraid it would pass and Trump's war of choice in Iran would be ended. This is absolutely ridiculous, and a failure of leadership from the Republican Party."
