Pacifica Radio Says Wage Peace - Not War!

 

The Pacifica Peace Resource Page

We are attempting to compile a very broad list of Peace Resources to help organize the many resources available online. Yes, there are dozens of websites listed here, so if you can only visit a few webpages, or are just starting out, we recommend you visit United For Peace and Justice at www.unitedforpeace.org.

The Pacifica Peace Resource Page is separated into 3 main sections: Get Informed; Take Action; and Get Involved

Note: This area is new and still under development, many of the main websites are listed but certainly many are missing as well. If you know of a website that is not listed anywhere on this page, please us your info.

 

 

Get Informed

War is wrong! Killing innocent people is completely unacceptable, and killing masses of innocent people is even worse and must be stopped. While these are in fact fundamental human truths, there are many other truths, specific to the current crisis with Iraq, that are often left out of mainstream media's analysis.

Below are a few ways you can better inform yourself about the US-Iraq Crisis.
