History

Founded as Mil­wau­kee Mobi­liza­tion for Sur­vival in March of 1977, we were part of a national net­work of national peace and jus­tice groups orga­nized around the issues of nuclear weapons, nuclear power, the esca­lat­ing arms race and the atten­dent decline in fund­ing for human needs. National Mobi­liza­tion for Sur­vival grew to include over 125 peace and jus­tice groups before its national office closed in 1992.

In Jan­u­ary 1996 we affil­i­ated with National Peace Action, which had been formed from the merger of SANE and the Nuclear Freeze Cam­paign. It is the largest grass­roots peace and dis­ar­ma­ment group in the coun­try. In 1999 we became Peace Action Wisconsin to reflect our statewide scope and membership.

Work­ing with a broad spec­trum of com­mu­nity groups, Peace Action has been in the fore­front of build­ing coali­tions around pro­gres­sive issues, serv­ing as a clear­ing­house for peace activ­i­ties and tak­ing the lead in orga­niz­ing local action on inter­na­tional issues.

Peace Action Wisconsin owns its own build­ing, the Peace Action Cen­ter, which serves as office space for sev­eral peace, envi­ron­men­tal and social change orga­ni­za­tions and as a gath­er­ing place for com­mu­nity events and meet­ings. The Cen­ter offers a resource library and a Peace Store.
