ALBUQUERQUE CENTER FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE

What ALBUQUERQUE CENTER FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE does

The Albuquerque Center for Peace and Justice (ACP&J) is a member-based nonprofit organization headquartered at 202 Harvard Drive SE, Albuquerque, New Mexico, that operates a community hub for peace, anti-war, and social-justice organizing. Its core services are recurring weekly programs run out of the center — Saturday free food distribution, the Thursday Peace Cafe meal service (10am–3pm), Wednesday mat/chair yoga (1:30–2:45pm) — alongside Peace Hall event-space rental, teach-ins, workshops, film screenings, and Palestine solidarity organizing that intensified after October 2023. Governance is vested in a six-member Coordinating Council (Chair Alicia Rodriguez, Secretary Luna Olavarria Gallegos, Treasurer Che Olavarria Gallegos, plus Larry Kronen, Marcey Kostiner, and Mark Campbell), with new bylaws approved in March 2024 and a revised Membership Policy passed in May 2026.

The underlying technology footprint is minimal and appropriate to the operating model: a Google Sites website (www.abqpeaceandjustice.org) for organizational communications, Google Forms for individual/family and group membership applications, Google Drive for hosting bylaws, policies, and meeting documents, and a Notion-hosted CC Roadmap that publicly tracks ongoing projects and progress. There are no mobile apps, no APIs or SDKs, no proprietary technology stack, and no AI/ML capabilities disclosed. Communications rely on a Facebook page, an Instagram account (@peace_justice_center), and a monthly email newsletter distributed via the Coordinating Council.

The business model is a non-commercial community-funded model with three revenue streams: recurring membership dues from individuals, families, and groups (pricing not publicly disclosed), donations accepted via PayPal and mailed checks (often earmarked), and one-time Peace Hall rental fees processed through an application workflow. No external investors, grants, or institutional funders are disclosed. The center reaches members through community organizing, event promotion, and partnerships with allied local nonprofits such as Refugee Inclusion. No financial figures are publicly disclosed, and headcount is limited to a volunteer Coordinating Council and front-desk volunteers.

Broad incumbents

• War Resisters League: A national secular pacifist organization promoting anti-war and nonviolent action since 1923. Highly comparable advocacy mission to ACP&J's anti-war focus, but operates nationally with paid staff rather than as a volunteer local center.
• Peace Action: The nation's largest grassroots peace and disarmament organization, with chapters running teach-ins, lobbying, and community organizing. Directly comparable anti-war/peace education mission, though at national scale.
• Amnesty International USA: A large human rights organization running campaigns, advocacy, and local volunteer-led events around human rights and peace. Compares thematically to ACP&J's human rights/anti-war mission but at global scale with professional staff.
• American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU): A major U.S. civil rights and liberties organization with advocacy and litigation programs. Overlaps with ACP&J's social justice and anti-discrimination focus but operates through legal advocacy rather than community space and mutual aid.
• American Friends Service Committee (AFSC): One of the largest U.S. Quaker-affiliated peace and justice organizations, running peace education, advocacy, and community organizing programs. Directly comparable in mission (anti-war, social justice) but operates nationally rather than as a single local hub.
• Veterans For Peace: A national veterans-led anti-war organization with chapter-based community organizing. Comparable peace-and-justice mission and chapter-style governance analogous to ACP&J's member/Council structure, though larger and national in scope.

Direct peers

• Indivisible: A progressive grassroots organizing network with local affiliates (ACP&J itself is linked to Indivisible Albuquerque). Comparable community-led activism and coalition-building model, focused on local civic engagement.
• Nonviolence International: An organization dedicated to promoting nonviolent conflict resolution and global peace, with educational programming and grassroots organizing. Closely aligned mission to ACP&J's peace, anti-war, and nonviolent action focus.
• CodePink: A women-led grassroots peace and social justice organization running local chapter activism and educational events. Similar community-led GTM and anti-war/justice advocacy focus to ACP&J, though operating nationally.
• Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ): A national network of white people organizing for racial justice through local chapters and educational programming. Comparable community-led organizing model and justice education programming to ACP&J.
