WAND's
Partner Program
About
the WAND Partner program
|
Excessive
spending on the military affects the lives of
millions of Americans whose basic needs are
not being met. Every dollar spent on unnecessary
weapons is a dollar cut from programs that serve
children, families and communities-programs
for health, housing, jobs, education and the
environment. |
WAND
is building a movement to change federal budget priorities,
linking its own members with women state legislators,
women in Congress, and partner organizations.
This
is where you come in! WAND
Partners are an important part of this movement for
change.

our list of partner organizations.
What
is a WAND Partner?
WAND
Partners are organizations committed to working with
WAND to address federal budget priorities so that
human and environmental needs are better served.
These organizations understand the cost to communities
across America because of unwise federal spending
decisions--they experience it every day.
WAND
Partners are primarily nonprofit women's, human needs,
and peace organizations, but also include programs
in universities, religious organizations, and policy/research
groups. Partners may be local, state, or regional.
What
do WAND Partners do?
Partners
share information with their members and constituents
about the connection between federal spending priorities
and their own vital work. They also share information
about their issues and programs with WAND.
Partners
mobilize their own membership/network to take
action on important legislation as the need arises.
What
are the benefits of being part of WAND's Partner Network?
Both
WAND and its Partners benefit from information sharing.
WAND provides ongoing information and action opportunities
to Partners (via e-mail, newsletters and fact-sheets)
for distribution to their membership, offers opportunities
to take action, and leads public speaking and media
training events. In exchange, WAND posts announcements
provided by Partners on our regular News Bulletin,
emailed to thousands of activists.
Together,
we are indeed greater than the sum of our parts! Through
WAND's network, the reach and effectiveness of WAND
and its Partners multiplies, increasing our strength
and base of support.
