OUR Working Groups AND STUDENT NETWORK

CAPA Foreign Policy Working Group

U.S. leaders of both major parties allocate $1 trillion in public funds to modernize the U.S. nuclear arsenal, and over 50% of our annual Discretionary Budget on an already colossal Pentagon, despite public opinion against such spending. Meanwhile, spending on schools, healthcare, and infrastructure which has public support is denied. 

Join CAPA’s Foreign Policy Working Group to challenge U.S. militarism, imperialism, impunity, and harmful ideologies like “American exceptionalism” and “full spectrum dominance”. 

CAPA Climate Group

As ocean temperatures and levels increase, extreme storms batter population centers and swaths of the planet dry up while others are flooded. The probability of dangerous conflict will increase.

CAPA recognizes the threat climate chaos poses to achieving world peace. Urgent action must be taken to confront and adapt to the effects of climate disruption.

Join the CAPA Climate Group to rise up for people and planet! We work to change racially and economically unjust climate policies, to build life-affirming, sustainable change.

CAPA Student Network

Dependency on a militaristic foreign policy and disregard for our impact on the climate will hurt future generations the most. CAPA works to empower the next wave of leaders by providing them tools and resources that will allow them to challenge the status quo.

CAPA’s Student Network currently includes CAPA DePaul and CAPA Loyola. We’re always looking to engage more student activists for peace — contact capa@chipeaceaction for more info on what CAPA Student Chapters entail!
