The closing of U.S. bases and the removal of U.S. military personnel from foreign countries are critical to the elimination of war. This campaign is a major focus for World
World BEYOND War believes that education is a critical component of a global security system and an essential tool for getting us there.
I understand that wars and militarism make us less safe rather than protect us, that they kill, injure and traumatize adults, children and infants, severely damage the natural environment, erode civil liberties, and drain our economies, siphoning resources from life-affirming activities. I commit to engage in and support nonviolent efforts to end all war and preparations for war and to create a sustainable and just peace.

The report found that over the last 20 years, militarized foreign and domestic policies in the United States have cost $21 trillion.
As the United States ends its military presence in Afghanistan after 20 years of occupation and war, the Costs of War Project estimates it spent over $2.2 trillion in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and by one count, over 170,000 people died during the fighting over the last two decades.
It’s never too soon to end a war, even if you don’t really end it, tell lots of lies about it, and increase military spending to prepare for more wars.
Nuclear weapons threaten our security. We demand Germany’s support for the UN Treaty on Nuclear Weapons.
I spoke with longtime peace activist and CODEPINK co-founder Jodie Evans during a significant moment in history. On the morning of our podcast interview, USA was completing its withdrawal from 20 disastrous years of war in Afghanistan.

Get ready to join in the resistance to DSEI 2021.
Every two years, the global arms trade comes to London. DSEI, one of the world’s largest arms fairs, returns to London’s Docklands this September.
This is where those who profit from war, repression and injustice do business. This is where we can stop them.
1,700+ arms companies plan to set up shop, marketing their lethal wares to an expected 36,000+ attendees from around the world. This year they will be joined by companies selling surveillance equipment, drones and other tools of repression to police and state agencies, as Counter Terror Expo takes place alongside DSEI.
Arms fair organisers Clarion hope that DSEI will mark the arms industry’s “commitment to a return to live events”. A full programme of resistance is planned!
Each day of the week of action will be themed, with talks, music, art, workshops, actions and more. Current plans include days on Palestine Solidarity, Climate Justice, Migration and Borders and a Festival of Resistance. There will be food, welfare support and a space to pop your tent – as well as actions that you can take locally or from home – so get involved and join the week of action to #StopDSEI from 6th – 16th September 2021!
Take a look at the events and actions you can join to stop the return of DSEI (**more to follow soon**), and if you want to know more or get involved please get in touch!
