Women Against War brings together Capital District women to work for peace. We advocate for changed US foreign policies through lobbying, leafleting, vigils, media outreach & educational events.

Recent News

In January 2014 we switched over to a new website format based on WordPress.  It’s still a work in progress which means that our recent events from 2013 have not all been added yet.  To find some more recent news you can visit our current Project pages [see right sidebar for individual projects]
