1	Amnesty International Amnesty International (AI) works to ensure that every person - regardless of race, religion, gender, or ethnicity - enjoys all of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights standards. AI works to protect human rights worldwide. Founded in 1961, AI has campaigned successfully in recent years for the International Criminal Court and a UN Torture Treaty. Through our research and action, governments have been persuaded to stop human rights violations and change their laws and practices. Death sentences have been commuted. Torturers have been brought to justice. And prisoners of conscience have been released. Please join Mountain View’s AI letter writing group third Sundays at 7:00 PM.	128

11	Israeli Committee Against Home Demolitions ICAHD-USA is committed to advancing a just peace between Israelis and Palestinians based on coexistence and respect for the human rights of both peoples.

We affirm that a lasting peace is only possible by ending Israel’s Occupation and control of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem. We oppose all forms of violence.	103
12	TCLP- The Compassionate Listening Project Welcome to the Compassionate Listening Project. We teach heart-based skills to create powerful cultures of peace in our families, communities, in the workplace, and in the world. "If we can change ourselves, we can change the world. We're not the victims of the world we see, we're the victims of the way we see the world. This is the essence of Compassionate Listening: seeing the person next to you as a part of yourself. - Dennis Kucinich, U.S. Congressman" We invite you to take a few minutes to learn about our history and our work. Spend some time on our website, and visit our calendar to look for programs in your area.	53
13	Center on Conscience & War (Interfaith) The Center on Conscience & War (CCW) first began as The National Service Board for Religious Objectors (NSBRO) in June of 1940 after the enactment of the first peacetime draft. At the initiation of the Second World War, the Board met to discuss the abuse of conscientious objectors during World War I and to promote alternative service for conscientious objectors whose only other option was sitting in jail. The coalition was unique in that it did not just include religious leaders from historic peace churches like the Mennonites, Quakers, Brethren, and the Amish. For example, Methodists--"one of the groups who went to jail if they conscientiously objected during WWI“--were in the initial coalition. At the group’s founding, members were primarily from Protestant and Anabaptist Christian denominations, but membership steadily grew to include Catholics, Jews, Muslims, and Buddhists. In 1964, the organization’s name was changed to the National Interreligious Service Board for Conscientious Objectors (NISBCO). The new name reflected both that the group desired to support conscientious objectors who did not come from a religious background and that the group's primary support came from religious communities. In June of 2000, the name was changed again to the Center on Conscience & War in response to greater interfaith participation and the shift to a self-perpetuating board.	46
14	DJPC- Denver Justice & Peace Committee Mission: DJPC is a volunteer organization dedicated to promoting human rights, economic justice and lasting peace in Latin America through education, solidarity projects and nonviolent activism. Goals: DJPC’s current goals include putting a human face on poverty, human rights abuses and conflict in Latin America; increasing awareness of the ever-widening social and economic injustices in both the South and the North; promoting sustainable communities and nonviolence; and encouraging people to become proponents of social change.	65
15	Oaxaca Street Children Grassroots Oaxaca Street Children Grassroots was established in 1996. "Grassroots" is a tax-exempt 501(c)3 charitable organization that operates an international child sponsorship program serving over five hundred children and adolescents, a food and medical program and a community center. In 1999, a sister organization in Mexico, El Centro de Esperanza Infantil (or "Center of Hope for Children") was we chartered. El Centro de Esperanza Infantil has the Mexican equivalent of a US 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. El Centro de Esperanza is the service-provider organization in Oaxaca. Please send Donations to Oaxaca Street Children Grassroots, Inc. to the US address listed in the 'Contact Us' section of the websitte.	52
16	Network of Spiritual Progressives We affirm the obligation to actively resist injustice and refuse to take part in it even when we can't prove that our resistance will produce change. In solidarity with the oppressed, we wish to see the democratization of economic and political institutions and a redistribution of wealth so that all people can share equally and sustainably in the benefits of the planet. We hope to have the courage -- in the tradition of the Jewish prophets and interpreters of Torah, in the spirit of Jesus and the early Christian communities of resistance to Rome, in the spirit of Muhammed, in the spirit of the activists of the labor & civil rights and feminist and gay rights movements -- to speak truth to power. Tikkun is a Jewish magazine, but the Tikkun Community is an interfaith organization (and welcoming to agnostics and orthodox atheists as well).	46
