Background
Turn Toward Peace is a joint national effort of over 70 organizations working for a disarmed world under law, in which free
societies can flourish. Turn Toward Peace does not pretend to speak for any of these organizations, but serves as a coordinating
channel for their peace concerns. TTP has established a framework within which individuals and organizations representing
the mainstream of American public opinion, along with pioneers in political and social thought, can explore the possibilities
of finding alternatives to war and the threat of war -- alternatives that do not involve surrender of freedom or democratic
values.
