PACIFICA FORUM

The Forum meets most Fridays at the University of Oregon. Until the beginning of 2010, it met in the Erb Memorial Student Union. Then some student leaders said it made them feel unsafe, so the administration moved it. It currently meets at Agate Hall, 18th Avenue and Agate Street.

'Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers' Universal Declaration of Human Rights, United Nations, 1948

The Pacifica Forum's central purpose is to provide information and perspective on the issues of war and peace, militarism and pacifism, violence and non-violence. It seeks not to persuade, but to inform and clarify, so that people can reach sound, informed conclusions on their own. The Pacifica Forum resists efforts to silence this endeavor.
