There is still time to apply for this national WILPF opportunity! We are looking for WILPFers older and younger, near and far, to be one of our five delegates to a peace collaborative: The Women’s Peace Initiative (WPI)! The WPI includes a one-day conference in San Francisco, on March 22.

Please spread the word about the deadline extension to your branch and/or in your area. Because this is a new and important initiative, we extended the deadline to Wednesday, February 13, in order to encourage thoughtful applications from WILPF US activists. There are numerous criteria, but commitment to WILPF (with willingness to do follow-up from the conference) are key ones.

Please look over the requirements and considerations. To get more information about the Women’s Peace Initiative, please request the application, which includes many more details.

Both newer activists in WILPF and experienced WILPFers can qualify to be participants in this collaboration-focused initiative and WILPF delegation to the March 22 conference. The participants from WILPF US and two other groups will connect, network, and learn with each other!

We have funds to cover travel and accommodations, thanks to our fiscal sponsor, the Peace Development Fund. Qualifying WILPF activists should request the application NOW!

Apply by the February 13, 2019 deadline.

Let us rise to this occasion, preparing for building peace!
