Branches
We build relationships locally while thinking globally. Connect to WILPF and peacebuilders in your community.
About Our Branches
WILPF US has branches across the country. Some have been active in local communities for decades. In fact, our Triangle branch has been mobilizing for 90 years! Other branches are starting their work, motivated to act by the moment we’re in.
Branches democratically choose their leaders, meet regularly forming working relationships and friendships, and coordinate with national WILPF. Branches have at least 10 WILPF members. They center their meetings and actions on local issues, connecting to WILPF’s national focus areas and campaigns. Branches also mobilize with local allies for greater impact. View the directory below to find a branch where you live. If there is no branch near you, consider joining our virtual Jane Addams branch and stay up to date on WILPF happenings across the country.
About Our Groups
WILPF Groups are smaller than branches with 3 to 9 members. Local friend groups and neighbors mobilizing together with more flexibility. Through shared leadership rather than a formal voting structure. And meeting when needed to take action or to come together in community.
Branch Directory
Those not living near a branch can join as individual members and become part of WILPF’s virtual Jane Addams branch.

Open a branch or create a group
Do you meet with a small group of friends to discuss local issues or take action together? You can organize a local WILPF US Group with three people.
When you reach 10 or more local WILPF members, consider creating a branch.
Let’s mobilize together to meet the moment. Contact membershipchair@wilpfus.org for information on how to create a WILPF US Group or Branch in your community.
