Veterans for Peace

Veterans for Peace is an organization made up of military veterans who advocate for peace and oppose war. Founded in 1985, it aims to promote the idea that the experience of war—often traumatic and destructive—should encourage efforts for nonviolent conflict resolution and social justice. Members engage in educational initiatives, public demonstrations, and community outreach to raise awareness about the impacts of war and the importance of diplomacy. The organization emphasizes the need for military veterans to use their experiences to foster a more peaceful world, advocating for policies that prioritize human rights and global cooperation.
