It is a natural tendency to want to stop the suffering and death caused by unjust and unnecessary wars.

We are a coalition of ordinary and diverse individuals in Ann Arbor and surrounding areas who are committed to bring peace, cooperation, and equality among all nations and peoples.

Our Declaration of Peace

AACAW members stand committed to peace, cooperation, and equality among all nations and peoples, ending once and for all the ruinous institution of war.

We believe that war is based upon a foundation of lies orchestrated by government officials and war profiteers who benefit from war while paying no price for the deaths of military members and innocent civilians.

We believe it is our duty to educate ourselves and our fellow citizens on war propaganda, to hold our elected officials accountable, and to seek nonviolent methods to end the war system.

Ultimately, we will change our political and economic system from one of war, domination, and fear to a system of peace, justice, collaboration, and care. Our mission is driven by gratitude for our precious home and by love for the people we see as our human family.

We seek to be a diverse coalition focused on ending war. We welcome all those who embrace that, regardless of ideological beliefs.

The war in Ukraine, like all other wars the US engages in, is based on lies, misunderstandings, fear, and a cultivated hatred of one another. The Russian and Ukranian people seek peace as much as we do, if not more. We call on the US government to stop all actions that prolong the war, human suffering, and cultural and environmental destruction.

Specifically, we seek:

• An immediate ceasefire

• An end to all US arms shipments to Ukraine

• Bringing all parties to the negotiating table to find a peace that respects Ukrainian sovereignty and Russian national security concerns

Nobody.

We are not a branch or spin-off of any organization, action group, or political party that has an agenda. We are average people outraged by the horrors of reckless wars and want to give of ourselves to bring more peace to the world.

We run off of the contributions of time and energy from people like you. Donations help support the cost of reserving event space, bringing guest speakers, and communication tools like this website.

Every Friday we hold weekly demonstrations at the Federal Post Office building in downtown Ann Arbor at 5th at 5:30 PM.

We are working on sharing as much truth and information on the horrors of war and war-profiteering. Please check out our latest flyer, here, and be sure to sign up your email for future information.
