List/Grid Afghanistan
In January 2002 four people who would soon become founding members of Peaceful Tomorrows traveled to Afghanistan to witness the consequences of U.S. military intervention and express concern about the devastation of civilian casualties. Since its founding, Peaceful Tomorrows has successfully advocated for an Afghan victims fund, produced several reports about the toll of the war on Afghan civilians, sent additional members on trips to Afghanistan, and connected with Afghan civil society organizations. More recently, Peaceful Tomorrows co-founder, Kelly Campbell, was part of the first American Women’s Peace and Education delegation traveling to Kabul in March 2022 to advocate for all girls to go to school and for the Afghan Central Bank funds held by the US to be released for the benefit of the Afghan people. In April, 2022 Peaceful Tomorrows filed an amicus brief in support of all the Afghan central bank funds to be returned to the people of Afghanistan.
No More Victims Tour
The “No More Victims” tour, co-sponsored by September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows and the American Friends Service Committee, will place the human dimension and experience of the 9-11 attacks and of war at the center of the national debate over the “war against terrorism.” In doing so, the participants hope to educate and to raise public consciousness about the meanings and consequences of the war by providing a thought-provoking dialogue in counterpoint to other, more ceremonial, remembrances of September 11.
