Mennonite Action Bay Area is one chapter of many chapters around the country working for peace. Mennonite Action is a movement of Mennonites, Christians, and friends following in the example of Jesus Christ, who called us to live as active peacemakers, standing firmly on the side of the downtrodden and the oppressed. We take public action against the occupation of Palestine and for a world where all God’s children are free. (From Mennonite Action's Website.)
