I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent. -Gandhi Veterans for Peace is a national organization founded by men and women who have served in the military forces in times of peace as well as every conflict since the outbreak of WWII and who now seek to serve by helping our nation move toward peace and justice rather than war and exploitation.

VFP Flyer In August 2002, the Santa Fe Chapter of VFP (Chapter 55 -- now known as "The Joan Duffy Chapter") became the second chapter in New Mexico. Ten founding members, who have now been joined by over 100 more, established this chapter to bring the special perspective (and credibility) of veterans to the work being done by allied organizations  in the area. Non-veterans may become associate members and in many cases have become important workers in the movement.  Local chapter dues are $12 per year.  All our events are self-funded, so additional tax-deductible donations to Veterans for Peace - Santa Fe Chapter are gratefully accepted.  Contributions can be made online by going clicking here.
