THE BIRMINGHAM PEACE PROJECT
We are an antiwar action group which educates for peace and social justice.
We support the peaceful resolution of conflict and the creation and expansion of tools that promote peace, justice and freedom for all peoples.
We support the full implementation of all human rights documents and the adherence to international law.
We oppose individual and institutional acts of violence and at all times seek and demand truth.
The Birmingham Peace Project was formed in September, 2002.
