Peace policy: Shared security


Militarism and war do not keep us safe. The U.S. needs a more ethical, effective, and less costly foreign policy to address today’s interdependent world.

AFSC works for policies that promote "shared security"—a state in which all people, communities, and countries derive their sense of security from mutual well-being, just policies, and shared commitment to resolving problems peacefully.
