FAIR, the national media watch group, has been offering well-documented criticism of media bias and censorship since 1986. We work to invigorate the First Amendment by advocating for greater diversity in the press and by scrutinizing media practices that marginalize public interest, minority and dissenting viewpoints. As an anti-censorship organization, we expose neglected news stories and defend working journalists when they are muzzled. As a progressive group, FAIR believes that structural reform is ultimately needed to break up the dominant media conglomerates, establish independent public broadcasting and promote strong non-profit sources of information...
Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, we are committed to creating a peaceful world -- one with liberty, justice and dignity for all. We believe that there are better ways to resolve conflicts than killing each other, and that we can find ways to bring an end to warfare...
Peace Brigades International (PBI) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) which protects human rights and promotes nonviolent transformation of conflicts. When invited, we send teams of volunteers into areas of political repression and conflict. The volunteers accompany human rights defenders, their organizations, and others threatened by political violence. Those responsible for human rights abuses usually do not want the world to witness their actions. The presence of volunteers backed by an emergency response network thus helps deter violence. In this way, we create space for local activists to work for social goals.

SACRIFICE
Can Average Citizens Participate in the War on Terrorism?; by David Corn
Congress is going about business as usual -- passing tax cuts for the

war on terrorism?

launched war against Afghanistan.
Grandmothers for Peace Statement on the Terrorist Attack:
The horror of September 11, 2001 will live in our hearts and minds forever. We extend our gratitude to all the courageous people involved in the rescue operations in New York and Washington, and our deepest sympathy to those who have lost loved ones.
We abhor this violent act, but fervently believe that retaliation, hatred and vengeance will not relieve the hearts of grief. A calm resolve and clear thinking must prevail. But after the mourning, we MUST also ask “Why?” .....

Committee Opposed to Militarism and the Draft believes we must resist the spread of militaristic values and the power of the military in our society.
Militarism is a value system that stresses the superiority of some people over others. Under militarism, the people deemed inferior are dehumanized as enemies who must be overpowered by any means necessary. Those who deem themselves superior are permitted to take whatever they want from others — land, freedom, natural resources, cultures, lives — by force.
Militarism derides cooperation, equality and nonviolence, and instead enforces strict hierarchical relationships. Hierarchical system.....
