Massachusetts Peace Action is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization working to develop the sustained political power to foster a more just and peaceful U.S. foreign policy. Through grassroots organizing, policy advocacy, and community education, we promote human rights and global cooperation, seek an end to war and the spread of nuclear weapons, and support budget priorities that re-direct excessive military spending to meeting human and environmental needs in our communities. We are an affiliate of Peace Action, the nation's largest grassroots peace and disarmament membership organization, with more than 100,000 members and 30 chapters across the country.What We Do:Mobilize our members to become active advocates for peace and justice issues with their elected officials and within their communitiesOrganize events to educate the public on issues of peace and disarmamentMake peace a priority in all elections at all levels by educating voters and candidates on just and peaceful foreign policy optionsHistory:Massachusetts Peace Action began in the 1980s as Mass Freeze, an affiliate of the nationwide Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign. In the late 1980s, Mass Freeze joined the national Freeze Campaign in its merger with national SANE: The Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy. Since then, we have continued our disarmament work while broadening our focus to include advocating for nonmilitary solutions to international issues, educating voters on peace issues, and more.
