545 |a The Lansing Area Peace Council was founded in January of 1970 in response to the rising militarism in the United States. The Peace Council consisted of many groups and individuals in the Lansing Area all working for peace and social justice through research, study, and non-violent direct action. Their primary goal was to help end the war in Southeast Asia and reorder priorities at home to create a just, humane society. The Peace Council focused on four leading issues including draft repeal, tax resistance, military-industrial complex, and ending the Viet Nam War. Its annual activities involved publishing a monthly newsletter, circulating anti-war literature and films, and coordinating anti-war actions. When the war came to an end, the Lansing Area Peace Council sent out a final newsletter in March of 1973 stating that the council had closed its doors.
