Just Foreign Policy

Just Foreign Policy is a left-leaning -registered non-governmental organization founded in January 2007 which is dedicated to reforming U.S. foreign policy. It seeks to do this through coordinating the broad majority of Americans to advocate their interests and values, largely through Internet actions styled on those of MoveOn.Org and similar groups.
Its website declares that it was founded as "an independent and non-partisan membership organization" because "the 'marketplace of ideas' regarding U.S. foreign policy, so far monopolized by a very small group of participants, needs an even larger dose of competition from organized civil society." Its founding president is economist Mark Weisbrot. In addition to a number of a university professors, its board includes former Congressman Tom Andrews, and Jeff Faux, founding President of the Economic Policy Institute.
Since its foundation in 2007 it has promoted various actions for U.S. citizens to take to lobby their representatives in the U.S. Congress to avoid a war with Iran, reject a weakening of the War Crimes Act, end the U.S. occupation of Iraq, and to de-escalate the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict.
