We bring together washington, dc-based disarmament organizations as well as our own grassroots network to help coordinate public and congressional education.

“Organizational development paef staff convene a conference call with local activists every other week providing updates on issues they are tracking and facilitate information sharing between local groups in paef activist network. In june, 2020, working with our sister organization, peace action, paef helped organize 50 zoom meetings with members of congress and their staff attended by 140 of their constituents from our grassroots network to press forward on foreign policy alternatives including scrapping plans for a 1.7 billion dollar remake of the entire nuclear weapons complex and the adoption of a no first use policy by the u.s.”

“National campaigns budget priorities as part of its move the money campaign, paef has continued to build its grassroots movement and alliances with social and economic justice groups at the local and national level to move various stakeholders, influence public opinion and impact the debate in washington. Working with our coalition partners and allies in congress, the peace movement has strengthened its call for sharp cuts in military spending. Since the onset of the cold war, consideration of military budget requests has resembled a rubber stamp process, channeling trillions of dollars to the pentagon and nuclear weapons programs. All the while the nation's infra-structure suffered neglect and major problems of poverty and environmental degradation. The challenges of providing the population with top quality education and health care took a back seat. Paef's move the money demands are gaining greater traction as the debate of federal budget priorities continues without resolution. Nuclear disarmament peace action education fund participates in the nuclear weapons working group, the alliance for nuclear accountability and the fissile materials working group to coordinate advocacy and actions around a broad range of issues from advocacy for a middle east nuclear free zone treaty to efforts to cut funding for nuclear weapons.

Kpn convenes regular conference calls and maintains a listserv of over 140 people to help coordinate education, organizing and advocacy efforts. Kpn held its 3rd annual dc advocacy days by zoom in june, simultaneous with the first summit meeting between president trump and north korean chairman kim. Sixty activists from nearly 20 states met with staff in about 70 house and senate offices and by zoom to educate staff and members on effective approaches to peace and diplomacy. Justice not war iran:. Throughout 2020, peace action education fund focused grassroots pressure on the administration through a series of mail, phone and email alerts to members of its grassroots network to prevent the administration from imposing punishing sanctions on iran. Much of paef's work has centered on preventing those who favor threats and intimidation over diplomacy from winning a new round of punishing sanctions to force iran to knuckle under. Such measures poison negotiations and potentially lead to military action. The war on yemen: the war on yemen, where a u.s. Backed coalition, led by saudi arabia, executes a ruthless bombing campaign. Hospitals, schools and other civilian targets have been destroyed. Paef continued its work to block arms sales and military aid to saudi arabia and its allies. Isis and the war on afghanistan: in 2020, paef pressured the trump administration to withdraw u.s. Forces fighting isis in syria. Paef mobilized grassroots support for a negotiated settlement to the syrian civil war and america's longest war in afghanistan. Paef provided regular updates on fast moving events throughout the region. Paef continued to press for a policy alternative to the authorization for the use of military force, the fig leaf bush, obama and trump administrations used to justify military campaigns throughout the world.”
