Upper Hudson Peace Action

Peace Action is the largest membership peace group in the United States, with 27 state affiliates and over 100 chapters nationwide. Upper Hudson Peace Action is the Peace Action chapter for the New York Capital District region, including Albany, Schenectady, Troy, Saratoga and nearby communities. We are one of 18 chapters of Peace Action New York State. We have been active locally since 1982. We oppose the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. We advocate complete nuclear disarmament. We work for peace between Israel and Palestine. We campaign against the bloated military budget and seek real security through international cooperation, economic justice and human rights. Peace Action USA was formed by the merger of two organizations: SANE and Nuclear Freeze in 1988.

Upper Hudson Peace Action hosts educational events and mobilizes campaigns working to end war. We also organize an annual membership gathering that honors a local peace activist with our Pat Beetle Award. We share information from Peace Action NYS and Peace Action USA, as well as the Back from the Brink Campaign, International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, and affiliated groups.
