Orange County Peace Coalition
MISSION: We advocate the peaceful resolution of international conflicts and that this ideal become a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy.
PHILOSOPHY: The sanctity of life and the non-violent resolution of conflict are the guiding principles behind the Orange County Peace Coalition.
We believe that people of all nations have the right, through truly democratic processes, to determine their own destiny, free from military coercion. We acknowledge national defense as a critical element of nationhood. However, civil liberties and democratic rights must never be sacrificed. Constitutional and international laws must never be overridden or ignored.
We believe that questioning, criticism and dissent must be valued and protected. We believe that all persons detained or prosecuted should have the right of due process. These rights must be defended.
We will resist the machinery of war and repression. We make common cause with people of the world for peace, justice and freedomWebsite address:

Progressive Christians Uniting - http://www.progressivechristiansuniting.org/PCU/Progressive_Christians_Uniting.html
We are a growing Southern California network of individuals and congregations seeking to express and embody a version of Christianity that looks more like the religion of Jesus than the religion of empire. Over the years, the organization has been supported by several hundred individual donors, regional conferences and judicatories, and congregations throughout Greater Los Angeles, as well as by significant foundation support for its criminal justice reform project and for other specific projects.

Our Faith is 2000 years old - our thinking is not

What would happen if Christians devoted the same discipline and self-sacrifice to nonviolent peacemaking that armies devote to war?
B'Tselem - http://www.btselem.org/
B'TSELEM - The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories was established in 1989 by a group of prominent academics, attorneys, journalists, and Knesset members. It endeavors to document and educate the Israeli public and policymakers about human rights violations in the Occupied Territories, combat the phenomenon of denial prevalent among the Israeli public, and help create a human rights culture in Israel.
B'Tselem in Hebrew literally means "in the image of," and is also used as a synonym for human dignity. The word is taken from Genesis 1:27 "And God created humans in his image. In the image of God did He create him." It is in this spirit that the first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that "All human beings are born equal in dignity and rights."
As an Israeli human rights organization, B'Tselem acts primarily to change Israeli policy in the Occupied Territories and ensure that its government, which rules the Occupied Territories, protects the human rights of residents there and complies with its obligations under international law.
