Wage Peace is AFSC’s initiative to promote peace over war around
the world, waging peace with the same determination and energy that
nations wage war. We seek to eliminate U.S. militarism by cutting
military spending, acknowledging the impact of war, and promoting
conflict prevention as an alternative.
