About WILPF – Des Moines
Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom – Des Moines Branch is the local affiliate of WILPF U.S. and WILPF International.
We are the local efforts of a grassroots movement that works through feminist principles in partnership with other community organizations and coalitions that align with our values of Equality, Human Rights, Anti-Militarism, Nonviolence, Solidarity, Anti-Racism, Ecological Sustainability, Care and Community, and Integrity.
We work to bring forth a world of permanent peace built on a feminist foundation of freedom, justice, nonviolence, human rights, and equality for all, where people, the planet, and all its other inhabitants coexist and flourish in harmony.
We have issue teams focused on Environmental Justice, Living Democracy, Demilitarization, Building Connections and Restorative Justice. Issue teams network to bring forth a new narrative, enhance civil dialogue and nonviolence, and advocate for legislative policy change.
