Women's International League for Peace and Freedom

Description

Come join Y-WILPF, an emerging youth branch of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom was founded in 1915 during World War I, with Jane Addams as its first president. WILPF works to achieve through peaceful means world disarmament, full rights for women, racial and economic justice, an end to all forms of violence, and to establish those political, social, and psychological conditions which can assure peace, freedom, and justice for all. We need youth volunteers or "members," under age 35, to help us work towards peace and justice. Membership means you can be as active as you want to be. We need members to be part of our National Campaign Committees where the program and direction of WILPF's work is created. We need members to become involved in WILPF's delegations to the United Nations, to Washington, D.C., and to participate in many activities such as local & regional gatherings and national & international conferences. Y-WILPF meets monthly at the University of Pennsylvania Women's Center and often holds various events throughout the city.
