Privacy has been becoming an increasing concern in more people's lives for quite a few years now.

Spreading is the most important part of any organization. The biggest asset you will have are friendship bonds that will develop over the course of your organization's activities.

This website is a tribute to Why War?, one of the nation's first and most innovative post-9/11 student antiwar organizations. Born on October 22, 2001 at Swarthmore College, we were a handful of freshmen and sophmores who vocally opposed the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. 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.
