Our world faces multiple alarming crises—racism, poverty, militarism (war and the war economy). Two existential threats could end life on Earth as we know it: environmental degradation and nuclear weapons.
We in PeaceWorks advocate a safer and more livable world as we stand in opposition to the destructive forces threatening our Earth and its inhabitants.

Massive and ever-increasing military budgets show that US leadership, the military-industrial complex, and our culture of American exceptionalism prioritize domination, violence, and war over diplomacy, negotiations and cooperation.
“We the People” must speak out to demand that our nation prioritize people and life over profits and death.
Censorship, and the spread of misinformation and disinformation, have created deep political divides and internal civil strife. We urgently need a world based on the common good, instead of an us-versus-them world. By uniting as a common humanity, we can ultimately address the enormous challenges facing us. It is our collective responsibility to chart a path toward a livable, more peaceful world for our children and future generations.
