The Women & Life on Earth Internet Project:
coming home for a new start in 2016


Dear friends and interested readers,

After more than a decade of development abroad, this international, multilingual website and internet project is ready to start up in the US.


WLOE writer-peace activist Ursula Gelis, see her work here

Back in 1999, when we founded the project in Western Massachusetts, the movement against corporate globalization was starting. Then came a series of terrible wars, some continuing to this day. We wanted to present and encourage women's work for peace, ecology and justice. See more about our roots and goals. From 2001 to 2012 we were based in Germany; our non-profit volunteer organization WLOE e.V. active there from 2003-2012. 

Now, in a new location and era, we want to staff WLOE with women who reflect the diversity and communication skills of a younger generation. Back in 1999 we thought it was important for women's voices and actions to be on-line and on the web. How much has changed! Now we must join the social media revolution (like it or not), and are lucky to have Karen Hoffman, a law student in Philadelphia, helping us with this.

Over the years our website and many related projects have been done by volunteers and interns. Some work will continue that way, but to bring international voices to a world public -- and help make urgently needed change at home -- we need to support people who are ready and eager to do the reporting, translating and networking we want to offer.

In 2016, we have a new start in the US as a sponsored project of the Western Mass. Traprock Center for Peace and Justice. From here we hope to grow and expand, based on the work of so many over the years.

Help us grow with a tax-exempt donation to the WLOE internet project and we will send you one or more of these important books.

Email us at info(at)wloe.org with your choice and donate online, or send a check made out to the Traprock Center for Peace & Justice to:
WLOE internet project, PO Box 372, Turners Falls, MA 01376.

And here are the books we offer, postage paid (in USA):
your choice of one for a donation of $30-$50; 2 for $100.
