Beyond War and Militarism
About


Beyond War and Militarism (BWaM) is a joint committee of the SPC and the CNY Solidarity Coalition. It draws resources from both parent organizations and enhances their interrelationship. 


The Committee is dedicated to nonviolent protest of:



United States’ or NATO’s participation in multiple wars and plans to engage in other wars.


The acceptance of nuclear weapons as tools of war.


The enormous size of the so-called “defense” budget.


The pervasive infiltration of militarism into U.S. culture and power structure.


The corporate state that is the primary beneficiary and supporter of this militarism.

Jewish Voice for Peace – Syracuse
About

A diverse and democratic community of activists grounded in Jewish values and traditions and working together against anti-Muslim, anti-Arab, and anti-Jewish bigotry and oppression. We seek an end to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem; security and self-determination for Israelis and Palestinians; and a just solution for Palestinian refugees based on international law.

The Syracuse chapter of JVP was started in Fall 2016. In addition to the goals above, we are committed to creating community; working for peace, social justice and human rights locally; and collaborating with other Central New York groups working on these and similar issues.

Upstate Drone Action
About


Upstate Drone Action is a decentralized, informally-organized, grassroots network of activists mostly from upstate New York. We seek to educate the public and Hancock Air Base personnel re the war crimes perpetuated with the MQ9 Reaper. This unmanned aircraft is remotely piloted via satellite from Hancock, home of the 174th Attack Wing of the NYS Air National Guard located just north of Syracuse in the Town of DeWitt. We also seek to educate the public about the risks of drone proliferation and blowback as well as the surveillance and civil liberties threat the Reaper and other robotic planes pose domestically. Legitimized by international law and by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, Upstate Drone Action members heed our consciences and the Nuremburg mandate to expose and impede our nation’s war crime. Committed to nonviolent direct action and civil resistance, members periodically undergo arrest, trial, fines, Orders of Protection and incarceration.
