Statement of Purpose

We, as military veterans, do hereby affirm our greater responsibility to serve the cause of world peace. To this end we will work, with others both nationally and internationally.

To increase public awareness of the causes and costs of war.

To restrain our governments from intervening, overtly and covertly, in the internal affairs of other nations.

To end the arms race and to reduce and eventually eliminate nuclear weapons.

To seek justice for veterans and victims of war.

To abolish war as an instrument of national policy.

To achieve these goals, members of Veterans For Peace pledge to use non-violent means and to maintain an organization that is both democratic and open with the understanding that all members are trusted to act in the best interests of the group for the larger purpose of world peace.

Handout for Veterans for Peace Vigil Chapter 099 on May 4, 2022

 

From the VFP Website: Election Integrity & Voter Suppression

Veterans For Peace strongly condemns attacks on voting rights and supports pro-democracy efforts to ensure that all citizens of the United States can readily exercise their right to vote.

In the violent formation of this country, elites denied most people the right to vote. It took generations of activism in the face of violence and repression for many people – women, people of color – to achieve the same right to participate in democratic processes that their white male counterparts had been granted.  Today, efforts to suppress the voting rights of Black, Indigenous, and other people of color are increasing in frequency and force.

Veterans For Peace supports and stands in solidarity with the many front-line communities pushing for a more participatory democracy and ensuring ready access to voting for all peoples.
