ACT for the Earth educates and mobilizes people and communities to take action for peace, ecology, and human rights. ACT (formerly ACT for Disarmament) was founded in 1982 as the Against Cruise Testing Coalition, and quickly mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to take to the streets in opposition to the testing of US cruise missiles in Canada. In 2004, ACT changed its name to ACT for the Earth to reflect [its] holistic approach to peace, ecology, and human rights.
