GPBP Began Following 2006 Arrest:​
On June 28, 2006, 11 members of the GPBP went to the Military Recruitment Center in Philadelphia to "enlist" in the United States military,  so that our grandchildren would not kill or be killed in Iraq.  When we refused to leave without enlisting, we were arrested and charged with "Defiant Trespass". On December 1, 2006, Judge Deborah Griffin dismissed the charges against us,  affirming the legality of our non-violent protest.

Since then we've continued to meet together to resist war-making/occupation, to advocate for a cease fire in the middle east, to work for the abolition of nuclear weapons, and to speak out against social and economic injustice.


Join Us In Waging Peace!
