Peace Movement Aotearoa

Peace Movement Aotearoa

Peace Movement Aotearoa (PMA) is New Zealand's national network of peace and social justice organisations. PMA is based in Wellington, New Zealand and supports the New Zealand tino rangatiratanga, human rights, anti-war, global justice and social justice movements by providing information, news and views through its website and email 'Action Alerts', updates, event listings and nationally coordinated petitions.

One of PMA's sub-networks is the Network Opposed to Weapons and Related Production in Aotearoa / New Zealand (NO WARP!). NO WARP describes itself as "dedicated to campaigning for the production and export of socially useful products, not those designed to maim, kill and destroy. We are committed to non-violent ways of expressing our opposition to those who profit from bloodshed and war." [ [http://www.converge.org.nz/pma/nowarp.htm#about About NO WARP!] ]
