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.
