Peace Now

Greens aim to promote peace and disarmament throughout the United States and the world. We call for an immediate end to wars in Afghanistan, Libya, the Middle East and across the planet.

We trust that non-violence is the best road to peace. We understand the right of self-defense, but we must move beyond actions that perpetuate violence.

The security of peoples worldwide is threatened by a dreadful array of violent impulses, including nationalism, greed, imperialism, ethnic and religious hatreds, nuclear weapons proliferation, terrorism, competition for raw materials and organized crime.

Lasting peace can only be achieved through good will, mutual respect, justice, strengthening human rights, resolving environmental crises, and alleviating shortages of food and water.
