The collection records include: administrative records, board minute records, correspondence, newsletters, photographs, publicity and event files, news clippings, and ephemera. Arrangement This Collection is arranged into two series: Series I: Administrative and Office Records 1960-2011 and Series II: Civil and Social Justice issues, 1942-2013. Historical Note The San José Peace and Justice Center (SJPJC) was founded in 1957. Its founding members were concerned about peace and social justice, especially in regards to the growing nuclear arms race between the Soviet Union and the United States. For more than fifty years, the Peace and Justice Center has promoted non-violent civil disobedience in favor of racial and gender equality and world peace. One of the individuals who founded the organization was Reverend George “Shorty” Collins, a 93-year old activist. The organization was active throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. They centered their activism on ending the Vietnam War, and accomplished this by counseling hundreds of men on options other than the draft, as well as organizing seminars and teach-ins on 1st and Santa Clara streets. In the 1980s, their goals shifted to the promotion of "The Peace Times", which was their monthly newspaper that focused on "peace activities in which they [the people] could participate". They also offered nonviolence education programs to educate people on de-escalation, nonviolent civilian self-defense, and nonviolent direct action, as well as high school direct outreach programs to educate people on alternatives to joining the military. These programs often included meetings with draft counselors. Lastly, they offered "The Pledge of Resistance to Prevent an Invasion of Central America", a campaign to stop US involvement in Central America. This pledge was taken by over 50,000 people, 400 of whom were from San Jose. The Peace and Justice Center rose to prominence in 1966 when Lisa Kalvelage and several other women blocked off a napalm-loaded truck in front of United Technology in Sunnyvale. Pete Seger later memorialized Kalvelage in the song “My Name is Lisa Kalvelage” to honor her actions and her commitment to achieving world-peace.

Pete Seger later memorialized Kalvelage in the song, "My Name is Lisa Kalvelage" to honor her actions and her commitment to achieving world-peace. This organization has also involved itself in a number of other political actions including anti-war and antinuclear demonstrations, supporting women's liberation in Latin America, and providing court and prisoner support for Angela Davis and Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Demonstration against mass destruction : Snowballers at a Nuclear Base. — Wiltshire Times CHAPTER 4 THE 1980s: OTHER DOMESTIC INITIATIVES 4.1 Introduction In the early 1980s a plethora of citizen organisations, especially strong in the UK, began to focus on nuclear weapons and international law. Although the UK Lawyers for Nuclear Disarmament (LND) helped inspire groups of non-lawyers such as Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), the International Law Against War (INLAW), the Institute of Law and Peace (INLAP) and Pax Legalis to use international law, it did not survive long. MacBride was an early influence on all these groups, and initiated further projects with a final goal of obtaining a request for an International Court of Justice (ICJ) advisory opinion through the UN. A variety of groups in the Netherlands, West Germany, Canada and the US challenged their governments policies in the courts. Inspired by the Greenham Women and the Nuremberg (1983) and London (1985) Tribunals, they worked collectively with lawyers taking creative actions which included the development of legally binding Nuclear Free Zones (NFZs) in cities, ports and states. Over 100 citizen-initiated Tribunals were held in Japan; and several states banned visits by nuclear warships through legislation or their constitutions (see 5.4 and 5.5). This chapter highlights some of these initiatives to illustrate how by the end of the decade the ground was fertile for pursuing the World Court Project (WCP) internationally.

  • Using an Award Ceremony to Support the Syrian Struggle
    Using an Award Ceremony to Support the Syrian Struggle What can be done to show solidarity with Syrians, Syrians who have risen up against their tyrannical government and its bloody allies? We in Promoting Enduring Peace have wrestled with that question for years. We’ve held educational meetings, written to politicians, shown the work of Syrian artists, marched in demonstrations and the like, but we wanted to do something more. So we thought a great gesture would be to give our Gandhi Peace Award to Syrians doing humanitarian work. The Gandhi Peace Award has been presented since 1960. Its laureates include Dorothy Day, Benjamin Spock, Cesar Chavez, Martin Luther King Jr., Bill McKibben, Ralph Nader, Amy Goodman, Jackson Browne and many more. The Award comes with a $5,000 prize and a medallion fashioned from the most valuable metal on earth, “peace bronze” made of metals extracted from retired nuclear weapons systems. We especially wanted to honor the Syrian Civil Defense (better known in the West as the “White Helmets”). Those rescue workers are heroes who dig out survivors and bodies from under the rubble. They are often targeted themselves in “double- strikes” deliberate bombings of an area for a second time just when rescue workers arrive. The White Helmets were first informal groups of people who dug people out once it became clear that Assad government rescue workers were never going to help. Later the White Helmets raised money for equipment from a variety of sources, including Western governments. The Assad regime has been most enraged not by their saving of lives, but by their making of videos, showing the devastation caused by Assad’s barrel bombs and his chemical attacks.
