East Bay Citizens For Peace

Home

The East Bay Citizens for Peace (EBCP) is a grassroots organization made up of individuals from Rhode Island’s East Bay area that are committed to peaceful solutions to conflict and to social and economic justice through the promotion of open, respectful dialogue. We strive to accomplish these goals through public forums on topics relevant to our mission, publication of position papers and community activism. We also seek to promote changes in U.S. policy by lobbying our representatives in Washington DC on issues of concern. EBCP operates by consensus and does not as a group subscribe to any one political ideology or party.

Help us make independent media more accessible by sending a letter to local radio and television stations in support of our campaign to bring the news program Democracy Now! to Rhode Island. Find out where the show is already available in our area.

We endorse the 25% Solution to cut U.S. military spending by 25% without endangering the country’s security. We are also part of the New Priorities Network, a nation wide movement to reduce military spending and fund community needs. Please call or send a postcard to the Joint Committee on the Deficit (the Supercommittee) and/or your congressmen today and ask for a budget that reflects your values!
