Taking the plunge for peace

Greetings-this is the first posting for the first
very semi-official blog of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, a 90 year old peace organization that has
been trying to end wars since 1915...obviously with
mixed results but a great deal of stamina. We publish a paper magazine,
"Peace and Freedom" every 4 months, and we have a
website, www.wilpf.org, that gets updated more or less weekly...so this is my attempt to break out into the blog stream to communicate and
connect on a much quicker pace. We'll be trying this out as team effort for our national staff, a small group of
activists at the WILPF office, 1213 Race St., Philadelphia, Pa. 19107.

I'm starting this out and will be joined by others as the days go by.
With the frustration we all feel from the national media which does not include our opinions or report on our events, or cover the sides of the stories that we know from experience, personal information, or sidestream media, it seems like this is the moment to seize the blog-
