Arkansas WAND is a chapter of a national organization, Women's Action for New Directions that was founded in the 1980s by Dr. Helen Caldicott as Women's Action for Nuclear Disarmament. When the Cold War ended and the nuclear threat was thought to be over, the name was changed. WAND expanded its mission to include world peace and security, nuclear disarmament, and redirecting excessive military spending to unmet human and environmental needs.
Arkansas WAND was founded in 1997 and has worked to involve women in changing the climate of fear and retaliation to one of working together with other nations in a spirit of diplomacy and cooperation. For more information about WAND go to their web-site.
