Peace, justice, action, and community
Action alerts, weekly protest for peace , featured mobilizations, and partner events across Wisconsin.
To Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and All Native Nations
We Acknowledge and Respect
Peace Action WI respects that in Milwaukee we are on traditional Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk and Menominee homeland and Wisconsin is the home of the sovereign Menominee, Sauk and Fox, Anishinaabe, Ho-Chunk, Oneida and Mohican Nations. We affirm our solidarity and support for the rights of Wisconsin Indigenous Nations.
Living on Stolen Lands
The first nuclear weapon was exploded in the Trinity Test on July 16, 1945.
We're still seeking justice for the unknowing, unwilling and uncompensated, innocent victims of the Trinity test in South-central New Mexico. Cancers and other diseases plague the communities surrounding the Trinity Test site.
Stand for Peace
