We’re turning
#NoWar2020 - our 5th annual conference originally
planned for May in Ottawa - into a series of virtual
events this upcoming May 28-30. Because of
coronavirus, we can’t meet in person for our annual
convergence, but we can still gather virtually to learn,
share, network, and strategize.
Here’s the online #NoWar2020
schedule to add to your calendar – all events are free
and open to the public:
*Day 1
on Thursday, May 28 at 12:00pm-2:00pm Eastern
Time (GMT-4), Mary-Wynne Ashford will lead a virtual
workshop on “Nonviolence Strategies – 101 Solutions to
Violence, Terror, and War.” Click here to register for the virtual
workshop!
*Day 2 on Friday,
May 29 will include 2 online panel
presentations. From 3:00pm-4:30pm Eastern Time (GMT-4),
Te Ao Pritchard, Siana Bangura, Richard Sanders, and
Colin Stuart will speak about their experiences as
activists and organizers shutting down weapons expos
around the world, and share examples of successful
campaign strategies and tactics. Then from 4:30pm-6:00pm
Eastern Time (GMT-4), we’ll hear from Tamara Lorincz,
Brent Patterson, and Simon Black about conversion from a
war to peace economy, and why we need to demilitarize to
decarbonize. Click here to register for Day
2!
*Day 3 on Saturday, May
30 from 3:00pm-5:00pm Eastern Time (GMT-4) will
be a virtual anti-war activists open mic session. We’ll

more. Click here to register for the

While we’re
disappointed not to be able to meet in person, we’re
glad to provide these offerings virtually. We hope to
“see you” this May 28-30 on Zoom and encourage you to
invite your friends and networks to join us for this
3-day online gathering!
P.S. Save the date for #NoWar2021 from June
1-6, 2021 in Ottawa, Canada to protest CANSEC 2021 –
