The Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) raised $11,111 during our year-end fundraiser—all because of you!

We also welcomed 22 new monthly sustainers.

BAP is planning to make huge strides this year—co-hosting a conference a week from tomorrow to close U.S. foreign military bases, continuing our organizing work as a co-sponsor of CODEPINK’s war-divestment campaign and hosting our first national gathering in April.

This is an ambitious agenda.

It can only happen if justice-seeking people like yourself continue to support this effort.

Please help us start 2018 strong by making a tax-exempt contribution or sign up to be a monthly sustainer.
