Learn About Affiliation

Founded in 2014, World BEYOND War (WBW) is a grassroots, global network of chapters and affiliates advocating for the abolition of the institution of war, and its replacement with a just and sustainable peace. Learn more about what it means to affiliate with the WBW network!
What is an Affiliate?

An affiliate is an existing entity with its own unique name, brand, and mission, distinct from World BEYOND War, such as Peace Brigades International – Canada or CODEPINK. Our organizations share a common mission of war abolition, and thus decide to partner together to amplify each others’ pro-peace/anti-war activities. In addition to cross-promotion, affiliation also means that we collaborate together on joint events and campaigns.

What We Offer

Affiliates are prominently listed on our website. We also maintain an affiliates email listserv to facilitate communication and collaboration among affiliates in the WBW network.

World BEYOND War provides our affiliates with educational resources, organizing training, technical help, and promotional assistance, such as the following:

  • Tech assistance and webinar co-hosting using our 1000 person Zoom meeting room.
  • Website design and hosting, such as this example for the War Industry Resisters Network
  • Free organizing trainings like this one, as well as personalized consulting to discuss strategic campaign planning, event promotion, and more.
  • Creation of fact sheets, flyers, graphics, and guides to support your campaigns. See this example of our billboards organizing guide.
  • Partnering with your organization to split the costs of renting billboards.
  • Use of our subscription to Action Network for co-hosting letter campaigns and petitions, such as this petition we set up to support coalition work in Portland to demilitarize the police.
  • Leveraging our email list in your local area to plug your work.
  • Promoting your events on our growing global anti-war/pro-peace events listings. Email your events to events@worldbeyondwar.org so we can post them!
  • Sharing stories of your work through the articles section of our website. Submit articles to info@worldbeyondwar.org.
"How enlightening it was to have Rachel and Greta guide us in how to use Facebook as a strategic tool in our activist repertoire. Even for those of us who use this platform all the time, there was a lot of useful information about how to improve our messaging and outreach. And what a pleasure to have such warm, knowledgeable, and responsive instructors. We are so grateful to have a generous and expert ally like World BEYOND War on our side."
