PeaceWorks Kansas City is dedicated to ending the use of military power to achieve objectives when viable alternatives are available.
We seek an end to the testing, production, and deployment of nuclear weapons, space weapons and other weapons of mass destruction.
We also call for restraint in the manufacture and sale of conventional weapons in international trade and a reordering of federal budget priorities to meet human needs.
We recognize, as an essential part of this mission, the importance of co-operation with other groups who share a wider vision of a world of common security and human rights.
Our biggest fundraiser is the UnPlaza Art Fair. Join us for our 17th year on September 20th and 21st, 2008. On the grounds of the All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church, 4501 Walnut, KCMO 64111 (across the street from the Kemper Gallery of Contemporary Art).
PeaceWorks Kansas City began in 1982 as the Nuclear Weapons Freeze committee of the Kansas City Interfaith Peace Alliance and became the Kansas City Nuclear Weapons Freeze Coalition, the metropolitan area's leading voice against the nuclear arms race. Our name evolved to PeaceWorks, Inc. in 1990 and PeaceWorks, Kansas City in 1996. We have continued to educate ourselves and our leaders on the need for less government spending of tax money on weapons.
