About  [Edit]

Sound Nonviolent Opponents of War (SNOW Coalition) is a coalition of peace activists and organizations in the Puget Sound Region of Washington State, USA. 


It has a website and listservs for activists in each city and neighborhood to organize to promote peace. 
SNOW was formed in response to the Iraq War, but it also supports peace efforts in other parts of the world.

We need more people in the Puget Sound region to become active.  Please visit the website, attend an event, and see how you can contribute to our Cascadian peace movement.

SNOW Coalition is part of the Western Washington Fellowship for Reconciliation so the address above is the headquarters for WWFR.

- If conflict is likely, we will strive to have ample trained peacekeepers and legal observers.

We condemn all human rights abuses and military aggression whether committed by the U.S., any other countries, groups or individuals.



We oppose:



- All weapons of mass destruction including nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, by the U.S. and/or any other country.

- All undiscriminating conventional weapons including cluster bombs, landmines, by the U.S. and/or any other country.

We support U.S. foreign policies which promote



- human rights,

- economic justice,

- and self-determination for all people



as the best way to prevent future acts of terrorism and to promote global well-being.
