WILPF US Branches Information
How Branches Work in WILPF
WILPF US encourages individual members to seek out their local branch in the Branch Directory below. If there is no branch near you, you are welcomed as a member of the Jane Addams Branch, our nationwide branch that meets virtually. You are encouraged to attend the monthly meetings and will also be informed via email about WILPF Happenings across the US Section.
Branches democratically choose their leaders, maintain communications with national WILPF, and operate locally in the name of WILPF, featuring the WILPF US logo and name prominently in their documents and signage. See more information in our six guidelines and recommendations for Model WILPF Branch Procedures.
In a branch, members meet regularly, forming working relationships and friendships. Branches center their meetings and local events and actions on WILPF issue committee activities and campaigns, as well as on other WILPF initiatives and issues. At the same time, with co-sponsored and coalition activities, branches ally with other organizations for greater effectiveness.
Forming a Branch
WILPF members can organize a branch in their community by involving at least ten current, local WILPF members. (Contact the Membership Chair for more information.)
