Together, let’s carry out the Resolution passed at Congress to invoke the Precautionary Principle and assert that the chemical/agricultural complex has no right to harm our health. Your participation is key to the success of this new collaborative four-part one-year CAMPAIGN.

At our annual meeting Santa Cruz WILPF decided to focus for a year on Jane Addams and the Centennial of WILPF -2015. The concept is to connect in a wide variety of ways with 100 years of our WILPF history, and confront the “now what?” as a Jane Addams replica appears all over town to be interviewed about the here and now of WILPF.
Even those WILPFers who attended the 2014 Congress this summer could not attend all of the 35 workshops over two very crowded days. But all of us can benefit from the many materials available for download at www.bit.ly/wilpfcongress.
The Greater Philadelphia Branch on October 18 presented the Peace and Justice Dove Award to Noelle Hanrahan of Prison Radio.
St. Louis Branch has launched a campaign to ask members to donate $100 for WILPF’s 100 years or as much as they can afford.
Vermont WILPF activists Robin Lloyd and Charlotte Dennett, creators of the performance piece Talking with our Grandmothers: World War 1 and the Women’s Peace Movement, will embark on a California ‘Centennial’ tour in mid October.
Now is the moment to seize the day to converge and build a movement of movements for people, planet and peace over profit.
