The Peninsula Peace and Justice Center is a activist organization in the San Francisco region.

[edit] History

The center was originally known as the Palo Alto Peace Center, and was founded in the mid-1960's by Barbara Jo Wenger, Connie Yu and Helen Keating. The center was located on Hamilton Avenue and Cowper Street. It was the headquarters of The Grapevine, an underground newsletter that was critical of the Vietnam War and President Richard Nixon. Members of the Peace Union were actively involved with demonstrating against the the war. The Peace Union was raided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation twice in 1971. In 1982, the center was renamed the Mid-Peninsula Peace Center.
