U.S. Section Vision & Mission

VISION STATEMENT

WILPF envisions a transformed world at peace, where there is racial, social, and economic justice for all people everywhere - a world in which:

• The needs of all people are met in a fair and equitable manner,
• All people equally participate in making the decisions that affect them,
• The interconnected web of life is acknowledged and celebrated in diverse ways and communities, and
• Human societies are designed and organized for sustainable existence.

MISSION STATEMENT

WILPF members create the peaceful transformation they wish to see in the world by making connections that:
• Provide continuity with the past so that knowledge of historical events and patterns informs current activities for change;
• Create analysis and action that reflect and reinforce each other;
• Link and challenge root causes of oppression, especially racism, sexism, heterosexism, militarism, economic disparity, and political disempowerment; and
• Build and strengthen relationships and movements for justice, peace, and radical democracy
