About Disarm Disarm Education Fund plays a vital role in movements for peace, social justice, and human rights at home and around the world. Now, in a dynamic partnership with Global Health Partners, Disarm is promoting community-based medical programs that provide training and resources to support sustainable public health systems throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Founded in 1976 as a gun control group, Disarm worked to ban all private ownership of handguns and to require the licensing and registration of all rifles and shotguns. Our early efforts led to the creation of the National Coalition to Ban Handguns. In the 1980s, Disarm broadened its focus to build opposition to nuclear weapons, particularly such firststrike systems as the Strategic Defense Initiative ( Star Wars ). Our support for the Plowshares movement, led by antiwar activists Daniel and Philip Berrigan, reflects our ongoing commitment to a world without nuclear weapons. And Disarm was an early and persistent advocate for a reduction of the bloated military budget and the redirection of government resources to education, the alleviation of poverty, and other human needs. In this period, Disarm became a prominent critic of U.S. intervention in the internal affairs of other nations in the Americas, a stance we vigorously maintain. Disarm was especially active in protesting Washington's role in El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Guatemala. Throughout El Salvador's long civil war, Disarm worked to end U.S. military aid and support for the right-wing death squads, while helping the country's popular liberation movement open the door for peace and democracy. We helped build the movement to cut off Washington's support for the Contra war in Nicaragua and end U.S. interference in
