#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

“Even if European leaders are being more vocal in support of Denmark, their ambiguity over Venezuela signals submission to Trump. And the more European countries act as colonies, unable and unwilling to stand up to Trump, the more they’ll be treated as such.” buff.ly/IpSEkHn #Greenland

Illinois for a World BEYOND War joined allies to condemn the U.S. invasion of Venezuela. The abduction of Maduro is an unambiguous act of imperial aggression, one that demands congressional accountability!

Sudan’s war crimes don’t make headlines, but they should. Darfur has become a graveyard of international inaction: millions displaced, tens of thousands dead, and entire towns erased. buff.ly/QHV1ouJ #HandsOffSudan

Mass death in Gaza continues and yet the world no longer pays attention, having been convinced that the genocide is over.

Trump bombed Caracas, abducted Venezuela’s president, and vowed to seize its oil. Armed looting, executed in the name of the empire. Congress has a legal and moral duty to intervene. Silence is complicity. buff.ly/nrsHrvf #HandsOffVenezuela

Hundreds of women say they were sexually abused during British army medical exams over 5 decades. This is a system: Militaries protect perpetrators, not victims.

The U.S. must end its unlawful attempts to overthrow Venezuela’s government. No more coups, no more interventions. Honor international law and the will of the U.S. public! worldbeyondwar.org/venezuela-no...

In case you missed it: Germany approved €50 billion in new military contracts, including €21B for soldier gear and billions more for tanks, satellites, and warships. Total military spending is set to DOUBLE by 2030! buff.ly/TinCXCZ

The EU can’t meet climate goals while treating military emissions like a state secret.

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.

UNEP is urging the world to recognize ecocide as a war crime. In Gaza, 61M tons of toxic rubble bury farmland. In Ukraine, over 10,000 cases of war-linked environmental destruction. War makes the planet uninhabitable! www.renewablematter.eu/en/unep-reco...

"Women’s bodies have become #battlefields, their pain reduced to numbers in reports, their voices lost amid the world’s indifference."

NATO’s rearmament push won’t just cost billions. It could lock member states into long-term higher taxes. A new @kiel.institute study shows war spending is first paid with debt, then with permanent tax hikes. 150 years of data say: war economies NEVER come cheap.

SIGAR’s final report confirms the U.S. wasted $29 billion in Afghan aid, nearly a fifth of total reconstruction funds. Efforts fueled corruption, entrenched dependency, and, at times, empowered insurgents.

Armenia saw a 168% surge in domestic violence in 2024. Rights groups link it to unaddressed war trauma, economic stress, and a collapse of mental‑health support. The pattern matches post‑war spikes worldwide. When societies absorb war, women pay the price.

Pope Leo XIV, in his 2026 World Day of Peace message, condemns militarized deterrence and calls for disarmament, dialogue, and a shift in global priorities. Peace, he says, must be built without weapons, or it won’t last. buff.ly/GXZ2ckT #WorldDayOfPeace

We’re told war is the only option. But history says otherwise. From Peru to Poland, from Ukraine to South Africa, nonviolent movements have stopped coups, ended occupations, and removed dictators. The list is long and growing!

From Gaza to Ukraine and beyond, conflict has caused widespread death and destruction, but it has also devastated natural resources such as water systems, farmland and forests.

"There is a new generation of weapons being developed by the private sector, outside of government regulation. The fear is that they will be used in Africa before we fully understand their consequences" blogs.lse.ac.uk/africaatlse/...

After two years of war, Israeli experts warn of a “mental health tsunami”: 2 million people need support, but services are collapsing. PTSD, addiction, and depression are surging. War doesn’t stop at the battlefield: it breaks entire societies from within.

Nuclear weapons don’t deter attacks. They don’t stop terrorism. They don’t keep anyone safe. What they do is bring us closer to extinction every day. Either we eliminate them or they eliminate us.

War is policy in Europe. From arms exports to rising militarism, the continent faces urgent choices. WBW’s new Europe Organizer is collecting input to inform people-powered peace strategies. Share your insights and help shape the work ahead!
