Mission Statement

 WILPF works to achieve through peaceful means world disarmament, full rights for women, racial and economic justice, an end to all forms of violence, and to establish those political, social, and psychological conditions which can assure peace, freedom, and justice for all. This remarkable vision still guides us today as we face the challenges of the twenty-first century. In today's context this means:

 · the equality of all people in a world free of sexism, racism, classism, and homophobia,

 · the guarantee of fundamental human rights including the right to sustainable development, an end to all forms of violence: rape, battering, exploitation, intervention and war, the transfer of world resources from military to human needs, leading to economic justice within and among nations, and

 · world disarmament and peaceful resolution of international conflicts via the United Nations.

10 Years Too Many:
National Day of Action Against Guantánamo
Join a rally in Washington, DC and help create a human chain of more than 2,000 people, representing the individuals still detained without charge or fair trial at Guantánamo and Bagram, from the White House to the Capitol. Let's fill Triangle bus from Raleigh and Durham for one-day trip to Washington, DC. Reserve a seat at $50 and/or fund one for someone else. Send checks, payable to NC Stop Torture Now, PO Box 12707, Raleigh, NC 27605, and write Jan 11 BUS in memo line. Indicate for whom the seat is reserved and give contact information. A bus leaves Raleigh, goes to Durham, and heads to DC from there. Contact Beth Brockman for more information and to confirm: brockman.beth@gmail.com or 919-824-9283. Peggy Misch (919-942-2535) offers to carpool from Chapel Hill to Durham.


Every day in cities across this land, WILPF members are joining those who are occupying Wall Street, Freedom Plaza, and 1500 other sites where non-violent, “leaderless” groups are emerging as part of a movement that seeks to reclaim a government established by the people and for the people. We join our sisters and brothers—of all ages, colors, ethnic origins, gender, sexual orientations, and social and political statuses—in a "democratic awakening" that reverberates with the voices of individuals who collectively call out for a fundamental shift in power and resources—where the needs of human beings are valued over corporate profits and military might. Together with others of the enlightened commons, WILPF protests the systems and institutions that support endless war and unrestrained corporate greed. The Triangle WILPF branch is rallying and the Raging Grannies are singing every Wednesday from 12-1at Peace and Justice Plaza in Chapel Hill; to view a recent gathering go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6826R_yMI8Y. Members are regularly attending Occupy Chapel Hill General Assemblies: weekdays, 6pm; go to http://occupychapelhill.org for calendar and additional weekend times. The Triangle Branch has also signed on to a petition calling for an independent review of the paramilitary police actions on November 13 at the Chrysler dealership and the detention of two journalists. To add your name to this petition go to: http://nealsway.com
