Founded in October 2002, the Grinnell Anti-War Alliance was created in response to the U.S. mobilization for war in Iraq. The group is opposed to U.S. military action in Iraq without proof that Iraq poses a threat worthy of intervention. As of now, we are unconvinced that the threat Iraq poses requires a U.S. led or participation in any military action.

While actively opposing the U.S. mobilization for war, non-violently, the Anti-War alliance is guided by the three main goals below.

• Maintain Visibility - To maintain a presence on campus and in the town of Grinnell and keep the issue of war in Iraq prominent.
• Education and Outreach - Fostering dialogue, conversation, and education on the issue
• Participate in State and National Networks - Be part of a larger national movement
