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.

Veterans For Peace Statement on Ukraine

Veterans For Peace (VFP) unequivocally condemns Russia's horrific invasion of Ukraine. VFP opposes western militarism and increased US military spending, and we are deeply concerned about even the possibility of nuclear warfare

Veterans For Peace maintains that:

That the people of Ukraine have the right to self determination and to lead their own struggle for national liberation.
That all people deserve to live without military invasions, occupation or threats of war, including the militarization of Russia's borders by the U.S. and NATO.
All parties to the Russia-Ukraine War should commit to genuine diplomacy with serious negotiations.
War resisters from every nation deserve support and safe refuge.

Veterans For Peace has consistently advocated for an end to war and as U.S. veterans to "restrain our government from intervening, overtly and covertly, in the internal affairs of other nations". (See our past Position Statements)

As veterans who know the enormous costs of wars, Veterans For Peace will continue to advocate for: (a) reduction of global arms sales, (b) limiting the expansion of US militarism globally, and (c) nuclear disarmament.
