NATO leadership is lobbying hard: boost European weapons output, channel billions to U.S. arms firms, lock in long-term contracts. It’s market expansion for the war industry, funded by public money and driven by corporate greed. buff.ly/hzPvzzm #NoToNATO

What happens to former U.S. military bases abroad? Many different things...

24 years after 9/11, 15 men remain at Guantánamo, at an estimated $15 MILLION per prisoner per year. A supermax prison costs about $80,000 annually. This is a permanent, wasteful system of abuse that the public keeps funding. Close Guantánamo! buff.ly/VFQUERi

World BEYOND War has submitted a detailed report to the UN Human Rights Office urging protection of conscientious objection. From Ukraine to Israel, objectors are jailed, tortured, and exiled for refusing to kill. 👇 Read why this matters. buff.ly/Okug3mN

Yay, more weapons deals and tighter military alliances! Israel and Germany just signed a security pact aimed at Iran and its allies, another move that raises tensions and normalizes endless militarization instead of real security.

The crime of genocide is happening. The intentional destruction of a people, in whole or in part, is genocide. The law is meant to be used to prevent it, not just review it after the fact.

👏 We’re thrilled to congratulate our Madison Chapter intern Elias Lyman on receiving a 2026 Student Activist Award from the Wisconsin Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies!

As U.S. leaders talk openly about taking control of #Greenland, the ice is literally exposing the past: Camp Century, a secret U.S. #nuclear base, buried with radioactive and toxic waste. This is what the U.S. #military leaves behind when it “shows up.”

How do the military-industrial-entertainment complex and media tech shape—and threaten—a sustainable future? Join World BEYOND War’s Feb 2026 book discussions. Essential for anyone serious about the future of activism!

The record is clear: U.S. sanctions entrench those in power while inflicting predictable harm on civilians. That’s collective punishment, prohibited under the Geneva Conventions, and decades of failure haven’t stopped Washington from repeating it. buff.ly/qmcZ7sl

History is clear: when governments repress dissent by targeting protesters, activists, and inconvenient voices, democracy starts to hollow out. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Don’t forget to join us on Saturday as communities worldwide stand up to U.S. hostility toward Venezuela: bring troops home, end sanctions, and defend sovereignty. buff.ly/jXoYO5B #HandsOffVenezuela

Huge shoutout to our World BEYOND War team in Aotearoa New Zealand, holding it down in Ōtautahi with a powerful rally against the U.S. war on Venezuela! 👏

This is a critical moment to raise your voice and help to turn the tide against endless war. buff.ly/LalEBgP #HandsOffVenezuela

This is our world: billionaires orbit the Earth for fun, and children in Gaza die from cold and collapsed shelters.

Great to see our story on WMATA’s censorship of peace ads and its cozy double standard for weapons contractors covered by Responsible Statecraft! buff.ly/i6irhl0

Four retired senior British army officers have called for a full arms embargo on Israel and an end to UK military collaboration in Gaza. Welcome aboard, good to have you with us.

Some refer to military spending as a means of creating jobs. This may sound sociopathic. It is also a factual error.

After years of mass rape, murder, and forced exile, the Rohingya genocide is on trial. Myanmar’s #military faces the #ICJ, at last. The real test now: will the world uphold justice, or keep rewarding impunity?

Does the U.S. have the right to violate another nation’s sovereignty? The answer is: nope. Absolutely not. Never has. That’s not a hard question. It’s the cornerstone of international law. The fact that so few in Congress will say it out loud is the real scandal.

Our screens train us to accept war, dehumanization, and state violence as normal. From Hollywood to newsrooms, media violence is social conditioning!

Trump’s #colonial daydreams strike again: #Greenland and #Denmark already said no, politely but firmly. Denmark is an EU member, not a mall kiosk. International law doesn’t come with a "Make America Buy Again" clause.

The U.S. military occupies a quarter of Guam’s land and has spent billions on bases, yet residents still face blackouts, housing shortages, and rising rents. Guam’s activists are right: the buildup has failed. Redirect the money to serve the people!

January 17: communities worldwide stand up to U.S. hostility toward Venezuela. Bring troops home. End sanctions. Organize a vigil, teach-in, or rally: everything you need is in our toolkit!

#Yemen’s war has entered a new phase: armed conflict between Saudi- and UAE-backed forces. A decade of foreign intervention has deepened divisions, weakened sovereignty, and pushed Yemen further from peace.

"Today, we must insist on pointing out that the U.S. committed a #warcrime against humanity on January 3 and that it is urgent for institutions within the U.S. to put an end to the militaristic madness of the Trump administration." —Gabriel Aguirre, WBW Latin America Organizer

Wars in Ukraine and Gaza are driving a surge in greenhouse gas emissions, yet military pollution remains unmeasured, unreported, and unregulated. While governments negotiate climate targets, they exempt the most destructive emitter: war itself.

At the 2025 Lisbon conference on peace negotiations, Swedish writer Håkan Östlundh presented a cultural critique of Western militarism. His work underscores the role of art in defending peace, neutrality, and human rights amid rising repression.

The Monroe Doctrine belongs in a museum, not in foreign policy. On Jan 17, people everywhere demand the U.S. end its economic and military aggression toward Venezuela. Plan an action in your town using our toolkit! buff.ly/jXoYO5B #HandsOffVenezuela

Palestine Action hunger strikers are near death. And still the UK government refuses to meet, speak, or even acknowledge them.

Fresh off abducting Venezuela’s president, the U.S. now signals #Greenland could be next. VP JD Vance says Europe must "take Trump seriously" and won’t rule out military action to seize land “for missile defense.” It's imperialism in plain sight.

#ICYMI Myanmar’s war is crossing borders. #Landmines have turned forests in #Bangladesh into killing fields, maiming civilians. #Myanmar is now the world’s deadliest country for landmine casualties. These weapons must be banned, EVERYWHERE, without exception!

World BEYOND War supports the Toledo activists facing trial for nonviolent protest against the U.S. role in Israel’s assault on Gaza. Their action reflects a moral imperative to confront crimes against humanity when official channels remain unresponsive.

1,000 days of war in Sudan. The world’s largest hunger crisis and biggest displacement emergency, and still, barely a headline. Where is the outrage? Where is the action?

On January 17, the global community calls for an end to unlawful sanctions, threats, and military interference in Venezuela! Join the Global Day of Action in Solidarity with Venezuela. Access the official toolkit to coordinate local actions worldwide! buff.ly/jXoYO5B #HandsOffVenezuela

Over 100 mothers from Britain and Ireland are urging the UK government to act, as women in Gaza give birth in tents without medical care. Israel has blocked mobile maternity clinics and banned key aid groups. Let the clinics in!

War isn’t inevitable: it’s taught, justified, and normalized. That’s why World BEYOND War centers education as a tool of resistance! worldbeyondwar.org/education/

"Peace and the survival of humanity depend on whether the United Nations Charter remains a living instrument of international law or is allowed to wither into irrelevance."

Thousands fleeing violence in Kordofan and Darfur are arriving in Kosti to find overcrowded camps, collapsing aid, and no shelter but plastic sheets. This is the cost of silence: civilians abandoned in plain view. buff.ly/65g0H3X #HandsOffSudan

Paul Singer dropped $5.9 B on Citgo right before Trump’s coup in Venezuela, after bankrolling his campaign with millions. Now he’s set to rake in billions as U.S. forces seize control of Venezuelan oil and industry for U.S. interests. buff.ly/k1tPzgY #HandsOffVenezuela

🚨 ⚠️ THANK YOU to the U.S. Senate for advancing a bipartisan resolution to block unauthorized military force against Venezuela. Now the U.S. House MUST act: vote to restrain escalation, reject takeover threats, and stop another reckless intervention. buff.ly/t2A7Pcr

If Congress won’t even demand a vote before unleashing military force on Venezuela, then it’s not just Trump waging war, it’s the whole political class enabling him. Today’s Senate vote is a line in the sand. Any lawmaker dodging it is complicit. buff.ly/iK8JoZa

🚨 World BEYOND War was blocked from running a DC Metro billboard saying “Peace on Earth — including in Venezuela,” while the same stations carry weapons ads timed to military spending votes. WMATA bans peace as “political,” yet allows war marketing funded by OUR taxes! buff.ly/UiwINtU

"The idea of our powerlessness is not less nutty than the idea of a drone missile as a legal process; it’s just been repeated many more times for many more years." worldbeyondwar.org/basic-sanity...

Unarmed civilians have stopped coups. Shielded refugees. Held territory. Blocked armies. Our new course breaks down how. Join us!

The continued military occupation of Hawaiian lands violates international norms on Indigenous sovereignty, environmental protection, and democratic accountability. The U.S. must halt lease renewals, commit to full cleanup, and return lands to Native Hawaiian stewardship!

The #Myanmar military is waging a silent digital war: 420+ internet shutdowns, mass surveillance, airstrikes hidden from view, and the world is barely talking about it.

The U.S. just toppled a government in Venezuela. Now, Trump’s team is weighing military options to seize #Greenland. And European ministers are meeting to plan a response. That this is even on the table shows how shredded international law has become.

World BEYOND War’s Latin America Organizer Gabriel Aguirre, in Caracas just hours after U.S. bombs struck Venezuela, recorded this urgent update. ✊ Mobilize with us Saturday, January 17, for a Global Day of Action in Solidarity with Venezuela! buff.ly/jXoYO5B #HandsOffVenezuela
