On February 23, 1991 more than 350 people representing over 60 communities throughout the state responded to a call from Rep. Frank Boyle, Superior. They crowded into the Assembly Chambers of the State Capitol to gather strength from one another in their frustration and concern about the Gulf War. Out of that gathering arose the Wisconsin Network for Peace and Justice. What does WNPJ do? The Network works for these things in common: * alternatives to militarism * training in active nonviolence * economic justice * grassroots democracy * global community * respect for diversity * sustainable agriculture and development * a safe, clean environment * human rights for all * empowering activists Who belongs to WNPJ? Both individuals and organizations. Membership is $35 for individuals, $45 for families, $52 for sustaining members. Organizational membership is $50 for groups without paid staff and $75 for those with paid staff. However, no members are excluded because of limited resources and larger contributions are always welcome. What are WNPJ's Projects? ** An Assembly each fall for all WNPJ members and friends. ** Steering Committee Meeting each spring for one or more representatives of all WNPJ member organizations. ** Publication of Net Work News, a bimonthly newsletter or bulletin, which highlights the work of groups from around the state and includes a peace and justice calendar of events as well as numerous networking suggestions and action alerts. ** A website with information about the Network and its activities, a peace and justice calendar, action alerts and contact information about each member organization, links and more. ** Production of an annual WNPJ Directory of Member Organizations. ** Presentation of Wisconsin Peacemaker of the Year Awards. ** Support of the Network by linking people and their expertise through e-mail, a website Speakers Bureau listing , participating in and building coalitions, and providing programs for members and groups throughout the state.
