Foreign Policy for the People:

National Security Training for Progressive Leaders

Free training for progressive leaders at all levels - state to local; in-person throughout Pennsylvania with meals provided.

From Iran-flation to immigration, every community experiences the impact of U.S. foreign policy. We want progressive leaders at every level to be able to explain what’s going on—and what you’re going to do about it.

    • Articulate to your constituents why foreign policy matters.

    • Play a proactive role in shaping U.S. foreign policy from state and city office.

  • Win Without War Education Fund is a diverse network of activists and organizations working for a more peaceful, progressive U.S. foreign policy. We believe that by democratizing U.S. foreign policy and providing progressive alternatives, we can achieve more peaceful, just, and common sense policies that ensure that all people — regardless of race, nationality, gender, religion, or economic status —  can find and take advantage of opportunity equally and feel secure.
