It's going to be the webinar / actionar online event of 2021, World BEYOND War's annual conference gone virtual.
Early-bird discounted tickets are available now -- for you or as gifts for your friends and loved ones.
#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.

Saturday, June 5 from 12h to 16:15h
Sunday, June 6 from 15h to 18h
We've lined up incredible speakers, facilitators, and trainers. A detailed schedule will be public soon.
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.
