WAMM
Sarah Martin joined WAMM in 1983. Her first action was a day-long session about opposing nuclear weapons and empowerment. As an action that day, balloons with messages were released into the air. Sarah notes that WAMM has always understood the connections of militarism to systems of oppression. Over the years WAMM supported and took action around the Hormel strike, Native American fishing rights, and the Nurses strike, to name a few. More recently, after being among the first to come forward in 2010 to stand with them, WAMM has sustained support of antiwar activists in the Twin Cities targeted for dissent by the FBI. And, of course, WAMM continues to oppose military madness in all its forms.[3]
In 2010 Sarah Martin, was a member of Women Against Military Madness. [4]
In 2011, Sarah Martin, was co-chair of Women Against Military Madness. Tracy Molm and Anh Pham have worked with WAMM in the Iraq Peace Action Coalition and other coalitions to organize non-violent anti-war educational events and protests, including at the Republican National Convention, speaking out against the atrocities of war and injustice.[5]
