On Friday, October 18, War Resisters League's 90th anniversary activities will culminate in a festive party and Peace Award ceremony at 1199's Penthouse in New York City!
We are thrilled to formally thank musical and political icons Harry Belafonte and Joan Baez and famed Pentagon Papers whistle-blower Daniel Ellsberg for their powerful and enduring peace and justice work with our 48th annual Peace Awards.
Funds raised from our 90th Anniversary Bash go toward developing WRL programs and campaigns for the coming year and into the future.

Ticket(s) will be held at Will Call under the name of the person who purchased them. Will Call will be specially marked at the front desk for the venue on the 33rd Floor Penthouse.

Yes, all three of our honored guests (Harry Belafonte, Joan Baez, and Daniel Ellsberg) will be attending and receiving their award in person. In addition to special guest presenters, we are pleased to have performances by YaliniDream and Jendog Lonewolf, and Mahina Movement.
ALL TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT
We are excited to announce that our 90th Anniversary Bash is completely sold out. This means that we will not be selling any tickets for additional guests on the night of the event.
