WNPJ publishes a bimonthly newsletter or bulletin which highlights peace and justice activities around the state. A calendar of events is included as are numerous networking and action suggestions. We want items from all over the state. Please submit your items by e-mail, if possible. Questions? Contact newsletter editor Sheila Spear sspear@wisc.edu. 

The newsletter deadline is the 15th of the month prior to the mailing for the month of publication. Therefore, the schedule is as follows:

Material received prior to the deadline will be considered for the newsletter. Material received after the 20th of the deadline month cannot be included in the newsletter.

Directory of WNPJ Member Groups:

An on-line directory of over 170 participating WNPJ organizations is available to members to facilitate networking and communication between state peace and justice organizations, large or small. The pages of this Directory are filled with valuable information - such as mission statements of the groups, major projects, contact information, publications, and more.

Weekly E-Bulletin of Calendar Events, by Region of the State

Members receive a Weekly E-Bulletin, listing the WNPJ member events throughout the state, by REGION. Other urgent Rapid Response e-mail announcements and Action Alerts are sent out periodically by WNPJ staff.

Web Site

WNPJ provides an on-line STATEWIDE Calendar and Action Alert sections be used as networking tools for web users. The Calendar lists events that are organized primarily by the member groups of WNPJ. The Action Alerts come from members, member groups, and other peace and justice sources. To request that a Calendar item or an Action Alert be posted, e-mail to info<at>wnpj<dot>org.

The website also contains the Speakers Bureau listing, as well as other valuable resources and links..

Sponsorship and Endorsement

In general, it is WNPJ policy to sponsor/endorse the events of our member organizations. We ask that the member group inform us of the particular event, if WNPJ is to be listed as a sponsor, and we will then distribute the information about the event to the rest of the Network. In general, WNPJ does not provide financial support in sponsoring an event of our member groups.

For non-WNPJ events and actions, WNPJ will seek consensus from the BOARD for endorsements.
