About Us

Welcome to the Dallas Anti-War Committee, an all volunteer group of individuals and organizations working to end America’s wars and aggressions. We’re glad you found us.

As I write this, our country is fighting wars in Syria, and Niger. It is helping to fuel the fires between Ukraine and Russia to create a need for US weapons instead of trying to promote a diplomatic solution to the war.  The U.S. Military is saber rattling with China, trying to create a second cold war, depicting the Chinese as our enemy.  We seek diplomatic measures to end these wars.   We want to  learn to work with other countries peacefully for the betterment of all.  

We are committed to building an antiwar movement, in solidarity with the victims of US wars abroad and at home, and of telling the truth about American military adventures.

A hundred years ago, when the US invaded a country, the excuse was to bring civilization. The methods of “bringing civilization” involved widespread slaughter, torture, and war. A country could be forgiven for not wanting civilization of that sort. Today, the excuses have to do with human rights and democracy. The methods haven’t changed very much, and “human rights” are being brought to Syria and Niger by dropping bombs on civilians.  Days after an earthquake and a humanitarian disaster the US launched one of its longest bombing campaigns.  We need to fund humanitarian efforts and end the aggression.  

We also stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people who face oppression and destruction from Israel, supported heavily by the U.S. war machine.

The real reasons for the wars haven’t changed very much either: America’s wars are about plunder, profit and power, as almost all wars have been throughout recorded history.

The way towards a peaceful cooperative world starts here, with us banding together and demanding change.

We hope you’ll join us in our work for a world without war.
