Who Are We?
Los Altos Voices for Peace (LAVP) is a non-profit, grassroots organization of concerned Los Altos and Los Altos Hills residents. Our focus is peace. LAVP was formed in early 2003 as the war on Iraq appeared imminent. Since the conclusion of the war, LAVP remains active.
Purpose
Los Altos Voices for Peace pursues a variety of educational and advocacy projects designed to promote awareness of non-violent solutions to global issues and to protect civil liberties. The organization reaches out to residents who share these concerns.
Activities
  • Recommended to the Los Altos City Council in February 2003 that it consider a resolution opposing the war on Iraq.
  • Participated in a worldwide anti-war vigil that drew close to 200 Los Altos participants.
  • Held candlelight vigils in downtown Los Altos.
  • Have regular monthly meetings to plan programs and activities. Guest speakers discuss peace and civil liberties issues.
  • Cooperate closely with Mountain View Voices for Peace and other local peace-focused organizations.
  • Co-sponsor events such as the League of Women Voters Civil Rights Forum.
  • Future projects include working with the City Council to place a "Peace Pole" downtown and evaluating the local impacts of the Patriot Act.
