Philly- who we are:
We are a women-initiated grassroots peace and justice movement to end war and redirect our resources toward life-affirming human needs and a sustainable society.
We reject fear-based politics that justify violence. We work towards policies based on compassion, kindness and a commitment to international cooperation.
With an emphasis on joy and humor, we seek to activate and inspire a community of peacemakers through creative campaigns and a commitment to non-violence.
We began on Mother's Day 2006 and we have been making PINK waves ever since!
Come make a splash with us to really rock the boat!
