In opposition to the Vietnam war, the US-based group Another Mother for Peace (AMP) coined the compellingly simple slogan, ‘War is not healthy for children and other living things’.

Another Mother for Peace was founded in 1967 “to educate women to take an active role in eliminating war as a means of solving disputes between nations, people and ideologies.”

AMP encourages its members to do Peace Homework by writing to elected government officials to express their desire for peace.

I JOIN WITH MY SISTERS IN EVERY LAND

IN THE PAX MATERNA

A PERMANENT DECLARATION OF PEACE

THAT TRANSCENDS OUR IDEOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES.

IN THE NUCLEAR SHADOW, WAR IS OBSOLETE.

 I WILL NO LONGER SUFFER IT IN SILENCE NOR SUSTAIN IT BY COMPLICITY.

THEY SHALL NOT SEND MY SON
TO FIGHT ANOTHER MOTHER'S SON.

FOR NOW, FOREVER, THERE IS NO MOTHER
WHO IS ENEMY TO ANOTHER MOTHER.
