Jerome Davis, born Jerome Dwight Davis (December 2, 1891 – October 19, 1979), was an international activist for peace and social reform, labor organizer, and sociologist who founded Promoting Enduring Peace. Davis spent 1916–1918 in Russia. He was sent to Russia to work with German POWs. He also set up YMCA centers for Russian soldiers. Upon American entry into World War I in 1917, he was made head of all YMCA work in Russia. He opposed US military intervention in Russia in favor of working with the new Soviet Union. During the 1920s, he returned to Russia several times and continued to advocate for Soviet cooperation. His chart of the construction of the Soviet government was published in Workers' Dreadnought. By 1920, however, he had returned to the States, finished at the Union Theological Seminary and in 1922 obtained a doctorate in sociology from Columbia University. More
