World Without War Council; began in Northern California in 1958, when twelve national peace organizations cooperated in establishing Acts for Peace; founded by Robert Pickus, it developed in 1961 into Turn Toward Peace (TTP), a cooperative national effort of some 60 peace and liberal internationalist organizations. Around 1967 (sources vary on the year), WWWC split off from Turn Toward Peace. Independently incorporated WWWC regional offices were opened in Seattle, Chicago, and New York City. The Seattle Council was reorganized as the Center for Civil Society, International. The Center focuses its work on aiding democratic development in Eastern Europe and the ex-USSR; the Midwest WWWC (Chicago office) is still in existence; in New York and Washington, WWWC works through cooperating organizations there.
