"It raised peoples' con-
sciousness," said Victor. "And
we're going to protest again.
We're trying to wage peace,
not war."
While some men have
bought WAND memberships,
clearly the major force of the
movement is women.
"Most of the decision to in-
crease the build up of nuclear
weapons have been made by
men," said Lerner. "Women
bring this issue not only their
intelligence but a new
perspective and an ability to
compromise. But the goal is to
educate everyone, not just
women."
As a group, WAND is not
searching for more women to
demonstrate on the steps of
city hall. They are pushing to
get more women into city
hall.
"Women put life into being
and then men make decisions
for those lives," said Faye
Kelle, the liason between
WAND's national organiza-
tion and affiliate groups
around the country, who

came to Detroit last month to
address the local chapter. "We
women should have some say
about the life we bring into
being. Men have the status
quo, men have the power and
they want to keep it. We've
got to do something and we've
got to do something now."
In Detroit, as in many of the
larger cities around the coun-
try, a large proportion of
WAND members are Jews, a
fact, WAND members say, is
easy to explain.
"The road to Jerusalem is
through Geneva," said Kelle.
"When international tension
is relieved, human rights for
Soviet Jews and others is
dealt with in a more humane
fashion. As for such political
action, it's within the Jewish
tradition to ask questions, in-
quire, question authority and
pursue education. While
others will allow themselves
to be victims, the Jewish peo-
ple say no. They refuse to be
victims again."
Local members agree with
Kelle.
"I know as a Jew that the
holocaust is possible," said
chairwoman Victor. "I can't
deny it and make it a second
priority."
WAND members often
speak of the parallels bet-
ween a potential nuclear war
and the Holocaust. "The on-
ly difference is that this
would be a global gas oven,"
said local member Pat Dienst.
While they continue to
grow and add numbers to the
cause, organizing and main-
taining such a group is not
always peaceful.
"It's very hard to keep it go-
ing," admitted Victor. "We're
a new organization and we're
in a period of flux. We're run-
ning around trying to cover
the gaps and sometimes I ask
myself if it's worth it. But I
know we're reaching the peo-
ple:'

groups to abolish the
militarization of childrens'
toys. They are also working to
incorporate peace education
into school curriculums,
gathering signature after
signature and sending the
petitions off to congress.
Last Friday, Detroit's
WAND chapter organized an
anti-war toy demonstration in
conjunction with several local
peace groups in front of a
Madison Heights toy store.
Carrying posters that read
"DON'T BUY WAR TOYS"
and handing out flyers, more
than 50 people stood in pro-
test for more than an hour,
hoping to deter parents from
buying their children war-
related dolls like GI Joe and
choosing instead more
positive, peaceful and creative
role models.
