• Coalition calling for the immediate phased withdrawal of American troops from Iraq
• Denounces U.S. military's alleged "torture" of Iraqis

Seeking to make American foreign policy accountable to world opinion and multi-national consent, Win Without War (WWW) describes itself as a "coalition of national organizations representing broad constituencies that aim to keep America safe by advocating that international cooperation and enforceable international law provide the greatest security for the United States and the world." Opposed to what it calls "the militarization of our foreign policy," WWW condemns "the doctrine of unilateral military pre-emption." The organization purports to offer "a mainstream, patriotic voice for engaging opinion makers, activating concerned citizens, and communicating effectively to the media." It opposes Republican office-holders and seeks to replace them with leftwing alternatives. Moreover, WWW exhorts groups and individuals to participate in demonstrations that portray America as a terrorist nation and the world's foremost human rights violator.

Calling for the immediate "phased withdrawal of the U.S. military" from Iraq, WWW characterizes the War in Iraq as a misguided, disastrous failure of foreign policy. According to WWW, "The war has made America less safe by fueling terrorism in Iraq and around the world. It has isolated America, alienating even our strongest allies and friends while putting the burden of securing Iraq almost entirely on the shoulders of our men and women in uniform and American taxpayers. [The occupation] has shamed our nation, undercut our leadership in the world, and aroused Arab and Muslim hatred against us." 

WWW reserves special scorn for the handful of American military personnel who participated in the much-publicized mistreatment of Iraqi inmates at Abu Ghraib prison in early 2004. WWW characterizes the happenings there as "torture" and an egregious assault on human rights. 

WWW was established in December 2002. An event to publicize the new organization's founding was attended and supported by representatives from the National Council of Churches (NCC), the NAACP, the National Organization for Women (NOW), the Sierra Club, Working Assets and MoveOn.org.

WWW is composed of more than 30 separate organizations that have joined together for the purpose of ending U.S. military involvement in Iraq. According to WWW guidelines, groups that choose to be coalition members "must have national scope, be nonpartisan, multipartisan, or bipartisan, and must agree to [WWW's] mission and political statements." WWW's member organizations include the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee; Global Exchange; Peace Action; the NAACP; Veterans for Peace; the National Organization for Women; the Rainbow/Push Coalition; Greenpeace; MoveOn; the National Council of Churches; the Pax Christi USA; Physicians for Social Responsibility; Psychologists for Social Responsibility; the Sierra Club: Sojourners; USAction; Women's Action for New Directions; Working Assets; Artists United to Win Without War; Feminist Majority; Fourth Freedom Forum; and the American Friends Service Committee. 

WWW publishes what it calls "Current Actions," an online feature that promotes the organization's numerous ongoing projects and petitions.

WWW's National Director is Tom Andrews, a former U.S. Democratic Congressman from Maine and former National Programs Director for Citizen Action (a division of the Ralph Nader-founded group Public Citizen). Serving as WWW's Co-Chairs are Susan Shaer (former President of the League of Women Voters of Massachusetts, and currently the Executive Director of Women's Action for New Directions) and Robert Edgar (also the General Secretary of the National Council of Churches). Publicity for WWW is handled by media specialist David Fenton, President of the public relations firm Fenton Communications, which in 2002 initiated a campaign to portray WWW as a non-partisan, "middle-of-the-road" organization.

WWW's Washington, DC chapter is a member organization of the United for Peace and Justice anti-war coalition; WWW's sister organizations are Artists United to Win Without War and Musicians United to Win Without War, which count among their members such celebrities as Mike Farrell, Jessica Lange, Dave Matthews, and Sheryl Crow.
