About Our Chapter / Notre Chapitre
“Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.”
― Isaac Asimov, Foundation
Montréal for a World BEYOND War brings together activists who believe that war and violence are unnecessary and beneath us as a species that aspires to achieve equality, compassion, ecological balance and an understanding of the oneness of all existence. We organize and attend rallies, protests, educational events and more. We connect to the global peace community through World BEYOND War and to Québec peace groups through Collectif échec à la guerre. Please join us!
“La violence est le dernier refuge des incompétents.”
– Isaac Asimov, Fondation

Nous organisons et participons à des rassemblements, des protestations, des événements éducatifs et plus encore. Nous nous connectons à la communauté mondiale de la paix par le biais de World BEYOND War et aux groupes pacifistes québécois par le biais du Collectif échec à la guerre. Joignez-vous à nous !
