Our programs
The Center for International Policy is a woman-led, progressive, independent nonprofit center for research, education, and advocacy working to advance a more peaceful, just, and sustainable U.S. approach to foreign policy.
Our programs provide interdisciplinary, intersectional, and cross-cutting analysis of the true causes and unforeseen consequences of conflict. Crucial to our mission is incorporating the voices of people most affected by U.S. foreign policy in the regions we study. This strategic analytical approach is integrated into all of CIP’s programs to offer alternative solutions to security challenges that are effective and sustainable for our nation, our global community, and our planet.

"Rather than military interventions, Yemenis need locally-rooted peace policies that resource priorities and programs designed by grassroots leaders to de-escalate tensions and prevent further violence."
Yemeni women-led civil society is also taking the long view, and ultimately, they know that a peace agreement will be signed. When that happens, if...
"The President has the ability, he has the tools and the authorities—in fact, is legally obligated by the existing US law—to condition US aid on Israel, or any recipient of that aid, observing international humanitarian law."
~ EVP @MattDuss on @UpfrontKPFA
I spoke to @UpfrontKPFA about the work being done to influence DC politics toward ending the war in Gaza and change the US approach to Israel-Palestine.

So many of the talking points AIPAC fed its members are outrageous, but it’s especially awful that with kids starving to death in Gaza and thousands more on the brink, their top ask to Congress on the crisis is to destroy the relief agency (@UNRWA) best positioned to deliver aid.
EVP @MattDuss & VP @dylanotes discuss AIPAC calls for unconditional military aid to Israel & hyping up threats with @TheProspect:
Focus often turns to Iran “when there’s more attention on Israeli military actions against Palestinians & the occupation."
Documents show that the powerful lobby is spreading its influence on Capitol Hill by calling for unconditional military aid to Israel and hyping up...
prospect.orgFor five months, the Israeli govt has consistently ignored US pleas to change its indiscriminate approach. They now appear to be listening about Rafah. Why?

This could have and should have been done months ago when thousands of people were still alive.
