WILPF is Disarming The War Economy by linking the effect of the for-profit war machine on our day-to-day lives. With the Raging Grannies and through song, art and satire we work to bring the immoral cost of the Iraq occupation home.

WILPF NY Metro Works In Our Community

Project Congo

From the glamour and rarity of diamonds to the common cell phone, African resources flow out of the country through multi-national funnels. This heinous mechanism benefits foreign interests and, meanwhile, guts the local economy. This project raises awareness about sexual violence in the CONGO and connecting unbridled brutality to externalized controls.





Trudy Orris Media Fund

As part of the Trudy Orris Media Fund Film Series, WILPF NY Metro is screening two films about the plight of Congo, "The Greatest Silence" and "Lumo" are the films we are highlighting currently.

Check out the official site for The Greatest Silence.
