Wisconsin Peace Platform

A Wisconsin Peace Platform; developed in 2006

Hundreds of individuals and groups around the state of Wisconsin are resisting the call to militarism, injustice and fear. We are dedicated to building an open, equitable and peaceful society, one that calls out the best we have to offer as intelligent beings. We are not naïve in our faith that we can construct a more livable world. We have been hearing too much of the war-like features of our society and of its fear in the face of a changing world. It is time to turn the tide of public discourse.

The platform has five ‘planks’, encompassing the work of WNPJ member groups and individuals, which is described more fully in the following pages, and each one of which is essential to our mission.
