#NoWar2022,
World BEYOND War's annual global conference, is
starting this Friday, July 8!
|
Dear
Vladimir,
As we resist the
institution of war worldwide, from crippling
sanctions and military occupations to the network
of military bases that encircle the globe, how can
we simultaneously “regenerate,” building the
alternative world that we want to see based on
nonviolence and a culture of peace?
Hosted
virtually through the Zoom Events platform,
#NoWar2022 will highlight unique stories of
change-making around the world that challenge the
structural causes of war & militarism while,
at the same time, concretely creating an
alternative system based on a just and sustainable
peace. |
Through
3 days of online panels, workshops, and discussion
sessions this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with
40+ speakers from around the world, we will
explore this unique theme of both "resistance" and
"regeneration":
- How
to shut down a military base and
convert the site for peaceful means
- How
to demilitarize the police and
implement alternative community-centered
policing models
- How
to challenge mainstream media bias and
promote a new narrative through peace
journalism
- How
to demilitarize education and promote
peace education curricula
- How
to divest from weapons and fossil fuels
and push forward a reinvestment
strategy that prioritizes community needs
- And
much more!
Additionally,
interactive discussion sessions will offer a
glimpse into what’s possible by exploring
different alternative models and what’s needed for
the just transition to a green & peaceful
future, including public banking, solidarity
cities, and unarmed, nonviolent peacekeeping.

#NoWar2022
is also being organized in partnership with the
Save Sinjajevina campaign in Montenegro, which
aims to block a NATO military training ground
& preserve the Balkans’ biggest mountain
grassland. Save Sinjajevina representatives will
Zoom in to the virtual conference to provide a
workshop about their campaign, and there will be
opportunities to support the in-person actions
happening in Montenegro throughout the week of the
conference.
#NoWar2022
participants will leave both inspired by what is
possible and equipped with the tools to reimagine
a just and peaceful future in their own
communities and worldwide.
