• Fiscal Sponsorships:

We provide fiscal sponsorships to many local projects and organizations.  If you have a project or organization in need of fiscal sponsorship, please send a letter describing the project to wpc@igc.org and we’ll set up a meeting with our Board as soon as possible.

• Coalition work:

We are part of a capacity-building coalition of DC anti-war and social justice organizers. Currently, we are engaged in building working groups for the coalition so that all upcoming actions will have more cohesive support, including legal, medical, media, arts/graphics and trainings. We are also starting the conversation among local groups working on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and Counter-Inaugural protests in January 2009, hoping to avoid some of the pitfalls of large, nationally-initiated DC-based mobilizations.

• Annual Peace and Justice Activist Awards: 

This December will mark our fourth annual award ceremony honoring local activists who have made an impact this year.  To help organize this event or nominate your favorite activist, contact wpc@igc.org.
