This website is a tribute to Why War?, one of the nation's first and most innovative post-9/11 student antiwar organizations.

And now, seven years later, we are retiring this website as we focus our efforts on new directions. We hope that it continues to serve future activists and we remain confident that humanity is on the verge birthing a better world.
