Statement of Purpose:
N.C. Peace Action, a state
affiliate of Peace Action, is a grassroots-based organization whose mission and purpose is to educate the
American people in order to recruit members and organize them into a citizens' movement with the sustained
political power to reverse the arms race, abolish nuclear weapons, and construct a world of peace and
justice.
As an organization, we will seek to
articulate a long-range vision of a radically different, peaceful world system while at the same time pursuing
practical programs which can lead on a step-by-step basis towards this goal. We will fashion plans for general
disarmament and economic conversion, but will also pursue short and mid-term goals such as a comprehensive
nuclear weapons test ban, deep cuts in nuclear arsenals, an end to military intervention in Third World
countries, and other steps towards peaceful change.
As human beings and as an
organization, we are choosing a new course toward lasting world peace. We choose to use our best instincts, our
talents, our resources, and our commitment to freedom and democracy in the services of what is genuinely our real
national interest: international peace and justice. We will work to see that the United States becomes a leader
in efforts to eliminate war and the roots of violent conflict, including working to strengthen the United Nations
and other international instititutions. We will strive to redirect the vast wealth and technological capacity of
the United States from war-preparedness to the urgent task of eliminating hunger, disease, and social
injustice.
