The Twin Cities Anti-War Committee began in December 1998, with 13 people who committed civil disobedience to protest the bombing of Iraq. We educate ourselves and the community about the injustices of U.S. foreign policy. The mission of the Anti-War Committee is to organize a broad-based peace and social justice movement which stands in solidarity with those communities, here and abroad, who are unjustly and cruelly affected by U.S. foreign policies. Our values are manifest in our core principles of self-determination for all oppressed peoples and countries, and peace through justice. We meet Thursdays at 7pm in our office building, at 1313 5th St SE (room 102A or 102B), Minneapolis, Minnesota. New members are always welcome. Visitors
and volunteers can also stop by during our offices hours:
