Biographical History
The Peace Now Movement was founded in 1943 by a group of pacifists to find means of ending World War II. They opposed the policy of unconditional surrender and called for a world peace conference.
Peace Now was a pacifist movement begun in Philadelphia, moving later to New York City, and eventually to Cambridge, Mass. Its objective was educational, including a campaign of 20,000 appeals to President Franklin Roosevelt for an immediate declaration of American Peace Aims. Officers were: the Chairman, Dr. George Hartman of Harvard; Executive Secretary Bessie Simon, formerly of the America First Committee; and Dorothy Hutchinson, a Quaker author and public speaker for Peace Now. Their activities apparently ceased with the chairman's adverse reaction to the way the moveement was portrayed in the press, including charges (unfounded) of sedition.
