What Moms Are Saying...

I cannot always say I have been anti-war as I was not really educated on the issues . NC is a military state. My hubby is army veteran. So with all the factors in play, it has taken me a while to become totally pro-peace. But here I am, and I am very happy I decided to understand foreign policy and how it impacts us as a country and society as a whole.
~ Pamela from North Carolina

I was a teenager during the Vietnam war. I've always been "pro-peace". The more I learn about who profits from war, and who suffers for it, the more "anti-war" I become.
~ Lori from Washington State
My husband is in the military and I many have asked me how I could have married into the military with my views. However, I'm not opposed to military in general -- but for self defense only. Unfortunately, that has not been the case with our military. I would like to do more to spread the pro-peace message and I feel that it's something that resonates with women especially.
~ Erin from Virginia

National Mother's Day for Peace 2012

Mother's Day was established by Julia Ward Howe as the annual day for us to rise up and speak out that we mothers have raised our sons and daughters to wage peace, not war.

The Mothers Institute salutes the women in this documentary and wishes to share in promoting Julia's message of peace as the original message behind Mother's Day. To that end, we are excited to begin organizing our own effort: National Mother's Day for Peace 2012. Mothers wishing to participate in the planning of this event are invited to join in the conversation via our Moms Forum.

War is Not Healthy

When the poster was issued in 1967, few could foresee that Schneider’s petition for peace would become the anti-war icon it was then or is today, more than 40 years later.
