We the Granny Peace Brigade Philadelphia stand for peace. We stand for human rights, with economic and social justice for all people. We oppose war, occupation, torture, and the violence of poverty, racism and environmental degradation. We are committed to the struggle to make a safe and peaceful world for all children and grandchildren…ours and everyone’s.

We will not be silent!

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 in Afghanistan and Iraq, and to speak out against social and economic injustice elsewhere.
