Peace & Justice

We are linked in various ways to several local and global efforts to address issues of oppression and injustice, especially as it involves disturbing actions by multinational corporations and government bodies in the United States and elsewhere. These peace and justice efforts include, but are not limited to

• the Campaign for Secure Dwellings, challenging U.S. support of Israeli oppression of Palestinians;
• School of the Americas Watch (SOA), advocating closure of the Pentagon’s training program for counter-revolutionaries in Latin America;
• Voices in the Wilderness, urging an end to the U.S.-led blockade against Iraq; 
• Jobs With Justice, advocating higher pay, better working conditions and workplace democracy for the working poor;
• and Shalom Ministries, Love Makes a Family and other Portland-based efforts in support of gay men, lesbians and others who are discriminated against because of sexual orientation.
