See map: Google MapsNorthern Spirit Radio seeks to give a voice to those doing the work of the Spirit - Peace, Justice, Care for Creation and more. The audio programs are available for syndication and explore the roots and fruits of the Spirit through the Spirit In Action program and the Song of the Soul program. Originally broadcast on WHYS, a project of Northern Thunder in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, the program seeks to claim the full voice and authority deserved by those working to truly heal and advance our world.

Our Coalition is composed of volunteers from various organizations.

We believe the very costly war in Iraq may have been launched illegally and that it and other possibly illegal actions by President Bush and his administration are the major issues facing America.

We wish to protect democracy and defend the constitution--and believe that a return to the rule of law can bring both peace and justice.

We were inspired by the successful April Bring Our Troops Home referendum efforts in 32 communities across the state.

Our goal is to be a resource to help activists in communities throughout Wisconsin place resolutions on the November 2006 and April 2007 ballots:

  • calling on the administration to BRING OUR TROOPS HOME
and
  • calling on the congress to START an IMPEACHMENT INVESTIGATION of the Bush administration.
Mission Statement
Peace Action-Wisconsin is a peace and justice organization which works for a world where human needs are met, the environment is preserved, and the threats of war and nuclear weapons have been abolished.

We want to organize anti-war voters into an effective political force that cannot be ignored.
