The
Committee for a SANE Nuclear Policy, commonly known as
SANE, was founded in
1957 in response to the
nuclear arms race[?] and the
Eisenhower administration's policies on nuclear weapons. SANE also organized opposition to the
Vietnam War, endorsing
Eugene McCarthy as the
Democratic[?] presidential candidate in
1968 and leading the effort to secure the passage of the
War Powers Act[?]. SANE merged with fellow anti-nuclear group
FREEZE[?] during the
1980s, and opposed the
Gulf War in
1991. The hybrid organization renamed itself
Peace Action[?] in 1993.
