WAND's Work on Nuclear Weapons
Women's Action for New Directions began as Women's Action for Nuclear Disarmament in 1982. With the end of the Cold War we expanded our mission to include the federal budget and a redirection of priorities away from the military and toward human needs. Although WAND has broadened its mission, we have never stopped working towards nuclear disarmament.
