NCW Peace is the website of a group of North Central
Washington
citizens committed to ending war. Our group includes business
owners, students, Christians, military veterans, orchardists, retired
persons -
people just like you. We believe that mankind can,
and must,
learn to settle
differences by non-violent means. With this website, we hope
to
keep you informed of activities
for peace in the North Central
Washington area, provide articles and other resources
for peacemaking,
and provide you with links
to other peacemaking organizations.
On Tuesday, April 15th (Tax Day), ncwpeace.org volunteers passed
out 750 copies of the 2008 Tax Day flyer from the Friends Committee on
National Legislation. This flyer includes a chart showing how
your tax dollars are spent. If you didn't get one, download it here.
Just added to our website: a page for the letters and essays of our own very talented Mark Lindstrom!
See pictures of the Martin Luther King Day action at the Kitsap-Bangor Naval Base, home to 2,364 nuclear weapons. Or visit the Ground Zero Center for more information.
“There were not sufficient reasons to
unleash a war against Iraq. To say nothing of the fact that, given
the new weapons that make possible destructions that go beyond the
combatant groups, today we should be asking ourselves if it is still
licit to admit the very existence of a ‘just war.’” -
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, May 2, 2003.
