Our Specific Objectives are to
mobilise people to influence Australian Government policy (regardless of political party) in relation to:

Australia’s role, independence and responsibilities in the Australia, New Zealand and US (ANZUS) alliance

In 2013, Just Peace joined together with over 50 other oragisationas around Australia to establish the Independent and Peaceful Australia Network (IPAN).
Just Peace is a Brisbane-based organisation whose aim is to raise public awareness about alternatives to war and the necessity of justice in achieving lasting peace. It was formed by a group of ordinary citizens who were concerned with the direction the Australian Government was taking with a heavy reliance on following the US militaristic path.
Just Peace works to exchange information, promote dialogue, organise events and develop publications that seek to clarify the peace issues we face as a national and international community. We also offer support and fellowship to those who face the destructive effects of war and injustice.
Just Peace stands as both a group of locally active individuals and as a proud member of the global peace movement. We come from all walks of life, all ages and all political persuasions. Our one commonality is our commitment to a safe, just and peaceful world.
The World Peace Calendar is a project of the World Peace Summit 2025 (Sep 14-28). To follow and to get involved in the development of the World Peace Summit 2025 (14-28 Sep) please visit and join https://www.facebook.com/groups/worldpeacesummit2025

The World Peace Calendar is continually evolving as a reflection of the world peace movement. We aim to make it as readable, functional and useful as possible. We also plan to outreach to include events and actions by more peace groups in more countries around the world while maintaining its functionality.
