Women's International League of Peace and Freedom.
The Women's International League of Peace and Freedom was founded in 1915 in response to World War I. The WILPF works to achieve through peaceful means world disarmament, full rights for women, racial and economic justice, an end to all forms of violence, and to establish political, social, and psychological conditions which can assure peace, freedom, and justice for all. The Essex County Branch was founded in 1925 and reactivated in 1955 at a conference at Upsala College. The branch continues to operate with 50 members. Lauretta Freeman served as president in 1955 and served again in 2005. Many of the branch's activities are based in Montclair and include current events discussions, letter writing sessions, voter registration drives, and funding scholarships.
