Welfare not Warfare: How Militarisation is Destroying Our Societies

Event Date: 14th January 2026
Location: Online, 6pm GMT

Dear friends and colleagues,

 

Join us for this online webinar next week. As military spending soars and wars are normalised, welfare systems are being cut, and inequality deepens. This is not security — it is militarisation at the expense of our societies. We will continue to push forward for a shift toward people-centered alternatives, common security, and social justice.
