Who We Are
UFPJ was founded, in 2003, to build a coalition of local and national peace and justice organizations to prevent the War on Iraq. The conflicts raging around the world today make it clear that the need to work for peace remains more important than ever. That is why UFPJ reorganized, in 2008, as a network and now operates with an all-volunteer Coordinating Committee, supported by one part-time staff member who assists with UFPJ action alerts, campaigns, and organizing. They meet weekly to manage the ongoing communication and administrative requirements of the network.
The Coordinating Committee is made up of two National Co-conveners and representatives of our most active local and national members groups. The Coordinating Committee makes decisions by consensus concerning how to respond to evolving challenges to peace and justice at home and abroad, the critical issues we work to address, and the on-going national campaigns we encourage member groups to support.
