Syracuse Peace Council

Syracuse Peace Council Educate. Agitate. Organize. The Syracuse Peace Council is the oldest local, autonomous, grassroots peace and social justice organization in the United States.

We are very proud of our rich history of acting to make our community and the world a better place. Our Statement of Purpose is as follows: The Syracuse Peace Council (SPC), founded in 1936, is an antiwar/social justice organization. We are community-based, autonomous, and funded by the contributions of our supporters. SPC educates, agitates and organizes for a world where war, violence and exploi

tation in any form will no longer exist.We challenge the existing unjust power relationships among nations, among people and between ourselves and the environment. As members, we work to replace inequality, hierarchy, domination and powerlessness with mutual respect, personal empowerment, cooperation and a sense of community. Present social injustices cannot be understood in isolation from each other nor can they be overcome without recognizing their economic and militaristic roots. SPC stresses a strategy that makes these connections clear. We initiate and support activities that help build this sense of community and help tear down the walls of oppression. A fundamental basis for peace and justice is an economic system that places human need above monetary profit. We establish relationships among people based on cooperation rather than competition or the threat of destruction. Our political values and personal lives shape and reflect each other. In both we are committed to nonviolent means of conflict resolution and to a process of decision-making that responds to the needs of us all. For more information on how to get involved, give us a call in the office at (315) 572-5478, send us an email at [email protected], or stop by our office on the second floor of 2013 East Genesee St. If you are interested in becoming a member, please visit www.peacecouncil.net/membership

Learn what Hochul is up to when it comes to NYS energy policy.

On May 20 at 7 pm, we're hosting a free webinar. All are welcome, including advocates, organizers, neighbors, and anyone who cares about New York’s energy future.

Governor Hochul has been building nuclear energy into the foundation of New York’s energy plans while more affordable renewable options keep getting sidelined. Nuclear is too costly, too toxic, and too slow, and Indigenous communities are already paying the price.

Communities across the state are fighting back, and this webinar is where we get organized!
