Our mission is to educate and engage Watertown residents in promoting U.S. military and foreign policy that seeks global justice and cooperation, the peaceful resolution of conflict, and human rights. We call for federal budgets that place a priority on meeting human and environmental needs over military spending. We seek an end to war, the elimination of nuclear weapons, and oppose militarism both abroad and at home. We value community organizing, legislative advocacy, nonviolent protest and working in coalitions as means to achieving this mission. Contact us at palomba10251@gmail.com.
The Peace & Common Security Working Group has two committees.
The Nuclear Disarmament Committee worked for over a year and a half to put a Nuclear Disarmament Resolution in front of the City Council. Unfortunately, in February of this year the resolution was defeated 4 -5. However, it is impossible to underestimate the positive impact this effort had on the ongoing effort to raise awareness about the dangers of nuclear war. Through collecting signatures, creating and distributing literature, holding educational forums, and providing the avenues for residents to reach out to the members of the City Council, the Nuclear Disarmament Committee reached thousands of Watertown residents with the message that nuclear weapons must be abolished.
