1: Peace
Promote a “Just Security” agenda that lays out non-military solutions to the core challenges of climate chaos, global poverty,
nuclear weapons, terrorism, and regional wars
Other Information:
All the world’s people have a right to security. This means economic and social security. It also means internationalist security
based on justice – something only possible when governments deal with their people and with each other based on principles
of mutual respect, human rights, and international law. In the short term, those principles lead us to educate and sustain
the global movements to oppose the Iraq War and to prevent war in Iran and beyond. In the longer term, our work includes reclaiming
the centrality of the United Nations and promoting an entirely new foreign policy for our country, based on fairness instead
of inequality, justice instead of power. IPS is promoting a “Just Security” agenda that lays out non-military solutions to
the core challenges of climate chaos, global poverty, nuclear weapons, terrorism, and regional wars. We’re working with dozens
of organizations to spark a national conversation on our “Just Security” alternative: coordinating hundreds if city council
resolutions to bring the troops home from Iraq: and producing talking points, fact sheets, and policy documents for Congress
and the peace movement on the costs of the Iraq war and how to end it justly.
