World Beyond War global conference coming up

Our annual global conference, #NoWar2026, is coming up in less than a month on October 23-25 on Zoom! This year’s theme is “Beyond Borders,” focusing on the militarization of borders and how wars and violent conflict drive mass displacement, and importantly, envisioning what open borders could look like. 

Sliding-scale tickets start at $5 USD. 1 ticket gets you access to all 3 days of conference sessions. Reserve your spot here.

Our inspiring line-up of more than 35 speakers from 20 countries will explore topics such as:

• Border Imperialism: The Militarization of Borders & Criminalization of Migrants
• Case Studies of Militarized Borders & Demilitarized Zones 
• How War and Militarism Fuel Displacement
• Nonviolent Communication: Breaking Free from Limiting Beliefs
• Migration is Beautiful: The Case for Open Borders
• and more!

Conference speakers include leading front-line organizers, educators, and authors, speaking from lived experience, decades of activism, and extensive research on these topics. In addition to panel sessions, the 3-day event includes live performances of powerful poetry and music, as well as time for networking with fellow attendees from across the global World BEYOND War network. Register to join us on October 23-25.

Towards peace,
