- List_of_peace_activists abstract "This list of peace activists includes people who've proactively advocated diplomatic, philosophical, and non-military resolution of major territorial or ideological disputes through nonviolent means and methods. Peace activists usually work with others in the overall peace movement to focus the world's attention on the irrationality of violent conflicts, decisions, and actions. They thus initiate and facilitate wide public dialogues aimed at nonviolently altering long-standing societal agreements directly related to, and held in place by, the various irrational, violent, habitual, and historically fearful thought-processes residing at the core of these conflicts, with the intention of peacefully ending the conflicts themselves.Jane Addams (1860-1935) - American, national chairman Woman's Peace Party, president Women's International League for Peace and Freedom Eqbal Ahmad (1933/34–1999) - Pakistani political scientist, activistMartti Ahtisaari (1937) - former president of Finland, active in conflict resolutionStew Albert (1939-2006) - anti-Vietnam war activist, organizerWidad Akrawi (1969) - Danish-Kurdish peace advocate, organizerÉmile Arnaud (1864-1921) - French peace campaigner, coined the word "Pacifism"Vittorio Arrigoni (1975–2011) - Italian reporter, anti-war activistPat Arrowsmith (1930) - British author and peace campaigner Joan Baez (1941) - prominent American anti-war protester, inspirational singerEmily Greene Balch (1867-1961) - American, a leader of Women's International League for Peace and FreedomErnesto Balducci (1922-1992) - Italian priestArchibald Baxter (1881-1970) - New Zealand pacifist, socialist, and anti-war activistHarry Belafonte (1927) - American anti-war protester, performerMedea Benjamin (1952) - co-founder Code Pink, author, organizerMeg Beresford (1937) - British activist, European Nuclear Disarmament movementDaniel Berrigan (1921) - prominent anti-Vietnam war protesterPhilip Berrigan (1923–2002) - prominent anti-Vietnam war protesterJames Bevel (1936-2008) - prominent American anti-Vietnam war leader, organizerVinoba Bhave (1895-1982) - Indian, Gandhian, teacher, author, organizerJanet Bloomfield (1953–2007) - peace and disarmament campaigner, chair of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament Vera Brittain (1893-1970) - British writer, pacifistElihu Burritt (1810–1879) - American diplomat, social activistHelen Caldicott (1938) - physician, anti-nuclear weapon, initiatorAndrew Carnegie (1835-1919) - American industrialist and founder of the Carnegie Endowment for International PeaceJimmy Carter (1924) - American negotiator, organizer, international conflict resolutionNoam Chomsky (1928) - writer, activist, organizerRamsey Clark (1927) - American anti-war and anti-nuclear lawyer, activistWilliam Sloane Coffin (1924–2006) - American cleric, anti-war activistJames F.
