Syracuse Peace Council

Syracuse Peace Council Educate. Agitate. Organize. The Syracuse Peace Council is the oldest local, autonomous, grassroots peace and social justice organization in the United States.

We are very proud of our rich history of acting to make our community and the world a better place. Our Statement of Purpose is as follows: The Syracuse Peace Council (SPC), founded in 1936, is an antiwar/social justice organization. We are community-based, autonomous, and funded by the contributions of our supporters. SPC educates, agitates and organizes for a world where war, violence and exploi

tation in any form will no longer exist.We challenge the existing unjust power relationships among nations, among people and between ourselves and the environment. As members, we work to replace inequality, hierarchy, domination and powerlessness with mutual respect, personal empowerment, cooperation and a sense of community. Present social injustices cannot be understood in isolation from each other nor can they be overcome without recognizing their economic and militaristic roots. SPC stresses a strategy that makes these connections clear. We initiate and support activities that help build this sense of community and help tear down the walls of oppression. A fundamental basis for peace and justice is an economic system that places human need above monetary profit. We establish relationships among people based on cooperation rather than competition or the threat of destruction. Our political values and personal lives shape and reflect each other. In both we are committed to nonviolent means of conflict resolution and to a process of decision-making that responds to the needs of us all. For more information on how to get involved, give us a call in the office at (315) 572-5478, send us an email at [email protected], or stop by our office on the second floor of 2013 East Genesee St. If you are interested in becoming a member, please visit www.peacecouncil.net/membership

Don’t miss this!

Nuclear energy is too toxic, too dangerous, too expensive, and too slow to build to be a real solution to the climate or affordability crisis facing New York families. It is also an environmental justice disaster, with Indigenous communities carrying a disproportionate share of the harm. Despite all of this, Governor Hochul has put nuclear power at the center of the state’s energy future, while more affordable and truly renewable solutions keep getting pushed aside.

We won't accept this. We are coming together to reject this false solution and demand that the state invest in an energy future that works for everyone.

Join us in Syracuse as a part of Communities Against Nuclear: A Week of Action to Protest Hochul’s Dangerous Nuclear Buildout. This week of statewide distributed actions consist of rallies, press conferences, and more, including in NYC, Westchester, Albany, the Finger Lakes, Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, Long Island, Binghamton, and the North Country. Together we will show statewide and local opposition to Hochul’s expensive and dangerous nuclear plan.

These events are being led by NY Renews, Frack Action, AGREE, NIRS, Food & Water Watch, and partners from several Haudenosaunee Nations.

Read this to learn about Maurice Brown then get off your duff and vote for him!

Socialist Maurice Brown has served as a county legislator in the Syracuse area since 2024. Now he is running to replace one of the New York State Assembly’s longest-serving members, who Brown describes as an obstacle to progressive change.

Governor Hochul wants to make nuclear the "backbone" of energy in New York. New Yorkers don't want it. Too dirty, too old, too slow. A false solution for ratepayers and the climate. If you're in New York and you want Gov. Hochul to know you don't want new nuclear in New York, click the link and sign the petition! https://actionnetwork.org/letters/individual-petition-against-nuclear?source=direct_link&eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=acdd63b5-129f-4575-bc1b-59bdfab6995e
