Mothers for Peace

Several months ago, I promised to research the organizations listed in the "Links" column on this page. I have begun. My first visit was to Mothers for Peace. This is what I found at their home-page under the "about us" tab:

The San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace came together in 1969. A young mother had written a letter to the editor of the local newspaper asking that people who shared her sadness and frustration at the needless loss of life in the Vietnam War join her in searching out ways to act effectively as a group. The shared values and compelling need to act that originally brought the group together have continued to characterize the Mothers for Peace.
The Mothers for Peace is a non-profit organization. Its active members include young mothers, grandmothers and non-parents. Its membership is predominantly, but not exclusively, women.

The Mothers for Peace has focused much of its attention on the local dangers involving the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. Yet the group is equally concerned about the dangers of nuclear power, weapons and waste on national and global levels.

Their activites and concerns are primarily regional and localized. Their mission and activities do not appear to be directly related to children or youth (although some may disagree with that opinion). That being the case, you can visit their site yourself to determine your interest.
