Peace Movement

Between the end of World War One and the start of World War Two the Erie County League of Women Voters became involved with the national "Peace Movement" along with the New York State League and the National League.

Representatives from the Erie County League took part in disarmement conferences in Washington, D.C. Here in Western New York the League provided forums for discussions on the peace movement as well as joining with other groups to study the Causes and Cure of War.
