Nonviolent Action Community of Cascadia A Seattle-based organization which uses nonviolent action to create political and social change. NACC uses creative nonviolent direct action, war tax resistance, public education and coalition-building towards these ends. The Nuclear Resister Since 1980, the Nuclear Resister has strived to provide comprehensive reporting on arrests for anti-nuclear civil resistance in the United States and Canada, with an emphasis on providing support for the women and men jailed for these actions. Since 1990 it has also reported anti-war arrests and encouraged peace prisoner support. The Nuclear Resister is published quarterly and serves to network this nonviolent resistance movement while acting as a clearinghouse for information about contemporary nonviolent resistance to war and the nuclear threat.

Crime, Not War
Tom Barry and Martha Honey dissect the difference between actions of terrorist and those of nation-states. "The crime was horrific. Never have so many Americans died from violence on a single day. It felt and looked like war.... But having four commercial airliners commandeered by political fanatics is not war, it is international terrorism, albeit at its worst. No nation or peoples have declared war on the United States.... Yesterday certainly was a day of infamy, but it was not--and should not be--the beginning of war." From the website of Foreign Policy in Focus

No More Victims Campaign
The American Friends Service Committee has started a campaign to help support victims and survivors of the recent bombings and to educate the public about finding peaceful solutions: "Reactions of rage, vengeance and retaliation are not the answer. We must invest in peace not war, in friendship not hatred, in diplomacy and legal recourse, not retribution and recrimination." See also, their statement announcing the campaign.
Statements
on the Terrorist Bombings and Peace
Fellowship of Reconciliation: "This is not a time for panic, suspicion, and hate. It is a time to draw upon the deep resources of faith and to examine our lives in the light of the oneness of the human family and the divine spirit that animates us all." Pax Christi USA: "As people of faith and disciples of the nonviolent Jesus, we must be willing, even now in this darkest moment, to commit ourselves and urge our sisters and brothers, to resist the impulse to vengeance. We must resist the urge to demonize and dehumanize any ethnic group as 'enemy.' We must find the courage to break the spiral of violence that so many in our nation, we fear, will be quick to embrace."
