Vancouver for Peace is an ad-hoc group of Clark County citizens working for peace, justice and nonviolence. We are a grassroots group that formed out of our concern about the rush to war in Iraq in January of 2003.
Our dream is that all Clark County residents will have the opportunity for their rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and that the United States will work for these rights for all people everywhere.
Our group is made up of people from many groups in Clark County, Washington
The main purpose of this site is to publicize peacemaking activities and events in Clark County, Washington
