Ways you can contribute time:

Host a presentation action-oriented discussion in your home. We will come to your home and give a multimedia briefing. If you bring the guests we'll come! Call for more information.

Schedule a briefing and action-oriented discussion in your church, school, club, or organization. These communities are natural expressions of our aspiration for peace and embody our traditions. They are potentially more politically powerful and transformative than isolated individuals.

Help with publicity, tabling, and outreach. The most difficult and expensive aspect of bringing people together is reaching them in the first place. The most personal communications are the best. Where the public is already gathered or is passing by, many people could be reached, informed, and activated with relative efficiently if volunteers were available to host information tables.

Help canvass. Among the best ways to reach people with information and give them opportunities to help is directly, one-on-one, at their doorsteps. Join our canvass team and meet your neighbors!

Display a yard sign, large yard poster, or even just bumper sticker. These forms of outdoor communication are the least expensive ways to communicate a brief message to thousands of people. Large yard or outward-facing wall signs are very valuable in the right place.

Gather petition signatures from individuals, elected officials, organizations, and businesses. These petitions, and the process of gathering them, gather the moral force of a free people – free to choose and to commit, as in signing a public petition – and lead it from the private, subjective realm of hope and into the public, objective realm of power.

Host a visiting activist, weapons inspector, or intern in your home. Such hosting makes possible powerful forms of activism by making it possible to bring more guests from afar into our work – experts, leaders, activists, and students – knitting us closer to one another as well to others far away.

Students: apply for an internship. For upper-division and graduate students with a strong interest in our work and interested in working with like-minded others, the Study Group may be able to help support your education, research, and publication.

Join or form a "committee of correspondence." American revolutionary John Adams described such linked committees as "a great political engine." What can be done by such small groups is essentially unlimited. Margaret Meade: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people can change the world. Indeed it's the only thing that ever has." Talk to us.

Learn more – attend events, trainings, and study sessions. Learning is one of two major pathways to empowerment in this and any issue, the other being direct action.
