ECM participates in the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice. This group, established by the Oread Meeting of Friends (Quaker) in 1976, is committed to promoting peace and justice in Lawrence and the world. Along with ECM, LCPJ has cosponsored forums on Iraq (The Hiroshima-Nagasaki Nuclear Bombing Commemoration), and Globalization. Meetings are held the second or third Sunday of the month at Plymouth Church, 925 Vermont St, in downtown, Lawrence.
