Friends of the Global Fight

Greenpeace, Inc. is a independent campaigning organization that uses peaceful direct action and creative communication to examine the global environment issues and promote solutions. Greenpeace was founded in 1971 by a group of activists. The organization s first action was at Amchitka Island, Alaska to bear witness to U.S. nuclear weapons testing in the area.The notion of bearing witness involves going to the scene of an objectionable activity and registering opposition simply by being present. Greenpeace focuses on six major efforts: saving ancient forests, stopping global warming, exposing toxic pollutants, protecting the oceans, eliminating the threat of genetic engineering, and ending the nuclear age. There are more than 40 Greenpeace offices around the world, with international coordination through its headquarters in Amsterdam. Greenpeace does not solicit contributions from government or corporations, nor does it endorse political candidates. Its 250,000 members in the United States and 2.5 million members worldwide provide virtually all of its funding through individual contributions.
