Founded in 1965, the Interfaith Council for Peace and Justice unites members of Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County who are committed to building a non-violent world. Together, these people of faith and conscience work to promote social justice through both educational and action-based events.

ICPJ activities include an annual walk to raise money for the hungry, a banner campaign to promote awareness of anti-torture, and a campaign to raise minimum wage.

ICPJ's main program areas include:

Hunger-- organizes the CROP Hunger Walk and other education and advocacy events to address hunger locally and around the world

NO Weapons, NO War – Focuses on promoting alternatives to military engagement and eliminating nuclear weapons and other weapons of indiscriminate warfare.
