This past summer, WRL National Committee member Debbie Southorn took a moment to collect stories about our past, present, and future. Give it a listen above and stay tuned for more awesome opportunities for future podcasts!

A great force for a peaceful world left the planet when WRL's—and the nation's—David McReynolds, who for decades was the best-known voice of American radical pacifism, died August 17 of injuries from a fall in his East Village home. He was 88 and had spent almost 40 years on the staff of the War Resisters League as a self-described “movement bureaucrat.”

As energy builds across the country for March for Our Life mobilizations tomorrow, WRL calls on members to push the narrative of gun control to full disarmament. Though there are calls for the March to be de-politicized, we see an opportunity to bring an anti-militarist lens to this political moment.
