From Veterans For Peace-Stop The Bombings In Syria



2015 Accomplishments
  • International chapters added in Ireland and Mexico, and a U.S. chapter in Janesville, WI
  • 335 new members nationwide.
  • Yoko Ono, Pete McCloskey and Masahide Ota joined our Advisory Board


Plans For 2016:

We seek to help people see that Peace is Possible. We will
  • Remind the world about the Kellogg Briand Pact
  • Sail the Golden Rule to educate the public about the dangers of nuclear war
  • Work to resist further escalation of U.S. war making in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world
  • Advocate for global diplomacy
  • Push for more U.S. humanitarian support for the Syrian refugee crisis
  • Continue to make connections with veterans across the globe to build peace between former warriors and help people see a vision of international peace both at home and abroad.

,
One of the largest obstacles to creating peace in our world is the widespread belief that peace is impossible. People do not actively work for peace when they believe that creating a peaceful and just world is unrealistic and naive.  What is unrealistic and naive is the widespread belief that humanity can survive if we continue to escalate the war mentality.

As survivors of the war system, Veterans For Peace is uniquely able to show that peace is possible.  We provide much-needed hope and motivate people to work for peace.  And by increasing peace literacy, we can empower them with the tools to create a more peaceful and just world. 

Help VFP spread a message of hope. 
Sincerely,




Paul K. Chappell
