Activism
Jeanmarie Simpson is a Lifetime Member of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), and was a board member of the Israeli-Palestinian Confederation, as of January 2012. She has been a pacifist and human rights/peace activist since 1984, when she observed the disparity between the wealthy and socio-economically challenged members of society while working as a Special Projects Coordinator for Consolidated Agencies of Human Service in Hawthorne, Nevada.
After September 11, 2001, Simpson, a "self-described 'artivist'," retreated from traditional theatre and began creating biographical works, political in nature, based on the lives of historical women.
Several political commentaries by Simpson can be found on Common Dreams.
