#NoWar2021 is a unique
event that brings together a global grassroots coalition
of individuals and organizations around the topic of
CANSEC and its global implications. As North
America’s largest weapons expo, CANSEC typically brings
together 12,000+ government and military officials and
weapons industry reps from 55 countries to Ottawa each
year. This year, CANSEC looks like it’s going online –
and so are we! Join us at our online counter conference
#NoWar2021 to put international pressure on CANSEC to
end this massive glorification of war. But we’re
also drawing attention to the fact that CANSEC is a
symptom of a larger problem – Canada’s and the world’s
complicity in the global arms trade and the institution
of war.
Instead of pouring trillions into weaponry, the world
must invest in a just recovery from the coronavirus
pandemic and a green new deal that includes a just
transition for arms industry workers. #NoWar2021
will bring together key allies to not only assist
Canadian efforts to #CancelCANSEC but also to share
expertise from similar campaigns worldwide in the global
struggle for war abolition.
Panels, discussion groups, workshops, and trainings
will cover a range of topics, such as: how to shut down
a weapons expo, weapons in space, the global arms trade,
war’s environmental footprint, divestment, creative
activism, nonviolent civil resistance, and
more.

The COVID pandemic has forced us to rethink
what global conferences look like and to re-imagine
virtual spaces. It presents us with an
opportunity to facilitate global exchange through the
use of creative digital platforms. In spite of the
pandemic, we can still organize, while at the same time
saving money and reducing our carbon footprint by not
flying around the world for international conferences.
World BEYOND War is a
global network of volunteers, activists, and allied
organizations advocating for the abolition of the very
institution of war. Our success is driven by a
people-powered movement – support our work for a
culture of peace.
