Statement of Purpose
We, having dutifully served our nation, do hereby affirm our greater responsibility to serve the cause of world peace and justice. Americans will be secure at home only when there is peace and justice abroad. To this end, we will work, with others:
* toward increasing public awareness of the costs of war,
* to restrain our government from intervening, overtly and covertly, in the internal affairs of other nations,
* to end the arms race and eventually eliminate nuclear weapons, and
* to abolish war as an instrument of international policy.
To achieve these goals, members of Veterans For Peace pledge to use non-violent means and to maintain an organization that is democratic.
