Milwaukee Peace Action Center Records, 1971-1972

Biography/History

The Milwaukee Peace Action Center (MPAC) was founded in February 1971 by the American Friends Service Committee and the Milwaukee Peace Education Foundation and dissolved in July 1972. MPAC was not a membership organization; rather, it was established “as an implementing body to aid individuals and groups in initiating specific peace action.” Other functions included distribution of information regarding peace activities and issues; participation in, and where possible, initiation of local, national, and international peace action; and operation of a crisis referral center.
