Coalition for Peace Action Membership Gathering on 4/12 to Feature Dr. David Cortright

The Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA) is having its Annual Membership Renewal and New Member Welcome Gathering on Sunday, April 12 at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton, 50 Cherry Hill Road (just above the intersection with Route 206) in Princeton.

The Program will be from 2:30-4:00 PM, and is free and open to the public. The keynote speaker will be Dr. David Cortright, a Vietnam veteran and previous leader of National Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy (SANE), as well as a founder of Win Without War.

He is professor emeritus of the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame and currently a visiting scholar at Cornell University’s Reppy Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies. He is the author or editor of 23 books, most recently Protest and Policy in the Iraq, Nuclear Freeze and Vietnam Peace Movements.

A question/answer period will follow Dr. Cortright’s presentation, entitled Halting and Reversing the Arms Race: Challenges and Opportunities.

The Program will be preceded by a Free Light Lunch from 1:30-2:30 PM for those who have contributed a 2026 CFPA Membership. Registrations are required for the lunch, so an appropriate amount of food is arranged. To register, visit peacecoalition.org and click on the event link under Upcoming Events; and then click the Register for Members Only Lunch & Program button.

“We are pleased to present a lifelong national leader dedicated to preventing nuclear war. We need all of the insight and guidance we can muster to rapidly reverse a new nuclear arms race that is emerging. The US, Russia, China, and North Korea are all undertaking major increases in their nuclear arsenals; potential new nuclear powers like Iran are getting closer; and many countries are considering getting their own nuclear weapons in light of weakened US commitment to sharing its nuclear umbrella,” said the Rev. Robert Moore, CFPA Executive Director.
