| National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee |
| The Women\'s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) is the oldest women\'s peace organisation in the world. It was founded in April 1915, in the Hague, the Netherlands, by some 1300 women from Europe and North America, from countries at war against each other and neutral ones, who came together in a Congress of Women to protest the killing and destruction of the war then raging in Europe. |

NWTRCC's goal is to maintain and build a national movement of conscientious objectors opposed to military taxes by supporting, coordinating and publicizing the WTR actions of groups and individuals. These actions include: war tax resistance, protest, and refusal; the redirection of military taxes to meet human needs; support of the U.S. Peace Tax Fund Bill; and adjustment of lifestyle to avoid tax liability. |

| Iraq Moratorium Project |
| WRL was organized in 1923 by men and women who had opposed WWI, many of whom had been jailed for refusing military service. The founders, including Jessie Wallace Hughan, leading suffragette, socialist, and pacifist, believed that if enough people stood in total opposition to war, governments would hesitate to go to war. |

The IMP grew out of the frustration we share with so many Americans. Why does the war grind on when the people of this country have so clearly rejected it? Clearly voting didn’t do the job. The IMP took shape in order to address issues people have about getting involved. |

| Iraq Moratorium |
This campaign intends to build and strengthen active nonviolent resistance to the U.S. war against Iraq’s people; to foster international and domestic peace teams; and to challenge the United States’ “Global War on Terror”, which is a war OF terror far more than it is a “war ON terror.” |

BRING THEM HOME NOW! is a campaign of military families, veterans, active duty personnel, reservists and others opposed to the ongoing war in Iraq and galvanized to action by George W. Bush's inane and reckless challenge to armed Iraqis resisting occupation to "Bring 'em on."
Their mission is to mobilize military families, veterans, and GIs themselves to demand: an end to the occupation of Iraq and other misguided military adventures; and an immediate return of all US troops to their home duty stations. |

Antiwar is devoted to the cause of non-interventionism. As Randolph Bourne emphasizes, " With every war, America has made a "great leap" into statism. " . . . it is during war that one best understands the nature of that institution [the State]." At its core, that "nature" includes the ever-increasing threat to individual liberty and the centralization of political power. Antiwar provides a sounding board of interest to all who are concerned about US foreign policy and its implications. |

AIUSA believes that all companies have a direct responsibility to respect human rights in their own operations. The business community also has a wider responsibility -- moral and legal -- to use its influence to promote respect for human rights.
AIUSA supports national and international legal instruments that promote greater corporate responsibility for human rights, including those that assure the risk of legal accountability if a company commits or is complicit in human rights abuses in their operations. |
