AVERT's Stop AIDS in Children Campaign.

BE SAFE Environmental Health Alliance. Coalition coordinated by the Center for Health, Environment, and Justice, founded by Lois Gibbs. A mother and grassroots activist, Gibbs fought successfully in the 1970s for the toxin-threatened residents of Love Canal. BE SAFE advocates for the precautionary principle, a vital strategy for protecting human, animal, and plant life from pollution, including pregnant women and unborn children.

Children's Defense Fund Health Coverage for All Children Campaign.

Consistent Life. "We are committed to the protection of life, which is threatened in today's world by war, abortion, poverty, racism, capital punishment and euthanasia. We believe that these issues are linked under a 'consistent ethic of life.' We challenge those working on all or some of these issues to maintain a cooperative spirit of peace, reconciliation, and respect in protecting the unprotected."

Decent Work, Decent Life Global Campaign. "Half of the world's workforce earns less than 2$ a day. 12.3 million women and men work in slavery. 200 million children under the age of 15 work instead of going to school. 2.2 million people die due to work-related accidents and diseases every year. Add to this massive global unemployment, the lack of social protection for the majority of workers employed in the informal economy, and the violation of trade union rights and the consequences of the lack of decent work are clear."

End Oil Aid. "Calling on wealthy countries and international institutions to stop using foreign assistance and other public resources to subsidize the activities of international oil companies. These subsidies fuel overconsumption in wealthy countries, benefit an already highly profitable and well-established industry, and exacerbate many of the most urgent problems facing humanity today."

Friends of the Susan B. Anthony Birthplace and Museum. The great US suffragist leader Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) was born in this very building in Adams, Massachusetts--and she was a great advocate of nonviolent choice, as you can read in ProLife Feminism Yesterday and Today, the book behind the Nonviolent Choice Directory.

Global Call to Action Against Poverty. "A growing alliance of trade unions, community groups, faith groups, women and youth organisations, NGOs and other campaigners working together across more than 100 national platforms. GCAP is calling for action from the world's leaders to meet their promises to end poverty and inequality. In particular, we demand solutions that address the issues of public accountability, just governance and the fulfilment of human rights; Trade justice; A major increase in the quantity and quality of aid and financing for development; Debt cancellation; Gender equality--must also be at the heart of eradicating poverty."

Global Call to STOP Cervical Cancer. "Every year, cervical cancer affects 500,000 women and takes the lives of a quarter million worldwide. Women in developing countries bear the brunt of this disease, with 80% of the deaths from cervical cancer occurring in poor countries, due to extremely limited screening and treatment availability."

Global Coalition on Women & AIDS. United Nations-led alliance "established in 2004 to respond to the increasing feminization of the AIDS epidemic and a growing concern that existing AIDS strategies did not adequately address women's needs."

Health and Education for All Pledge. "Classrooms with teachers, clinics with nurses, and affordable medicines. For millions of people, these things are still a distant dream. How can we make this dream a reality? By making sure poor countries have money and power to invest in free health and education--especially for those who need it most."

National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum: Letter to CDC Against Mandatory HPV Vaccine for Immigrant Women. We endorsed this statement. The requirement was revoked in November 2009.

Prevention Now. Coalition that seeks to increase global accessibility of female condoms so that women can better prevent HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections as well as averting unintended pregnancies.

Soulforce's Booklet What the Science Says--and Doesn't Say--About Homosexuality. This powerful educational tool for LGBT justice lists the Nonviolent Choice Directory and Prolife Feminism Yesterday & Today coeditor Mary Krane Derr in its acknowledgments. Also check out its companion booklet, What the Bible Says--and Doesn't Say--About Homosexuality. Both publications challenge the stereotypes in a spirit of love.

United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women. "At least one out of every three women around the world has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime. Violence against women and girls is perhaps the most pervasive human rights violation. It devastates lives, fractures families and communities, and stalls development. Failing economies, coupled with discrimination and inequality, heighten women's vulnerability to violence, keeping them dependent, their options limited. In conflict and post-conflict countries, women are singled out for sexual abuse and human trafficking by competing armed forces."

White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood. "An international coalition of individuals and organizations formed to promote increased public awareness of the need to make pregnancy and childbirth safe for all women and newborns in the developing, as well as, developed countries."

Women Say No to War. "We, the women of the United States, Iraq and women worldwide, have had enough of the senseless war in Iraq and the cruel attacks on civilians around the world. We've buried too many of our loved ones. We've seen too many lives crippled forever by physical and mental wounds. We've watched in horror as our precious resources are poured into war while our families' basic needs of food, shelter, education and healthcare go unmet. We've had enough of living in constant fear of violence and seeing the growing cancer of hatred and intolerance seep into our homes and communities. This is not the world we want for ourselves or our children..."

World AIDS Campaign. Global coalition that encourages local responses to the pandemic and sets themes for the annual World AIDS Day, December 1. Please visit the site and make your pledge to take action on HIV/AIDS.
