Written in response to last month’s military attack on the country, the letter delivers a swingeing critique of US foreign policy and historical conduct, accusing Washington of pursuing a doctrine of absolute predation. It highlights major US wars of the 20th and 21st centuries, referring to “the genocidal horror of Vietnam,” “the annihilation of Cambodia,” and the “systematic slaughter of Koreans,” as well as the destruction of Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan. The open letter, titled ‘A Declaration to the Conscience of Humanity,’ is signed by over 170 signatories from 30 countries and signatories include former UN officials, retired career diplomats, former ministers, scholars, politicians and former parliamentarians, military and security professionals, artists, lawyers as well as journalists, activists, and anti-war campaigners.

April 10, 2026 Jo Pico, Fight Back! News. Resist! Antiwar Movement, Detroit, Iran, Wars and Militarism

Detroit, MI – On Sunday, April 5, around 100 people joined Detroit Anti-War Committee at the Spirit of Detroit statue to begin weekly protests against Trump’s war on Iran. Daanyal Syed, speaking on behalf of the committee, explained why the organization began these protests, saying that while the U.S. and Israel continue to ramp up their violence, “we must ramp up our opposition.” These protests began in collaboration with U.S. Palestinian Community Network, CodePink-Detroit, Engineers Against Apartheid, Wayne State Students for a Democratic Society, Love & Liberation, and Freedom Road Socialist Organization.

Anti War Action Network Calls For National Day Of Action On Tax Day

April 8, 2026 Fight Back! News. Resist! Antiwar Movement, Iran, National Day of Action, Trump Administration

The Anti War Action Network (AWAN) called for a national day of action on Tax Day, April 15, to protest Trump’s costly war on Iran. President Trump has asked Congress to authorize an additional $200 billion for his war on Iran while at the same time cutting funding to scientific research, environmental protection, and various social programs including housing assistance, Medicaid and SNAP. From the AWAN post on their Instagram @antiwaractionnetwork, “Organize an action in your community for Tax Day – April 15th – to show that we want our tax dollars spent on human needs like education and healthcare instead of bombing schools and destroying hospitals in Iran!”

No Kings In America, Real Resistance In Rome

April 6, 2026 Michael Leonardi, Counter Punch. Strategize! Antiwar Movement, Democrats, Italy, Liberal class, No Kings, US Empire

The “No Kings” slogan sounded promising when it exploded across the United States in 2025: a mass rejection of authoritarianism, unchecked executive power, and the cult of the strongman. But like so many liberal-led mobilizations in the Trump era, the U.S. version has revealed itself as carefully managed theater — heavy on performative outrage, light on principle, and deliberately blind to two of the greatest crimes of our time: Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the illegal U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. The contrast with the Italian “No Kings and Their Wars” mobilization in Rome could not be starker.

Israeli Police Violently Suppress Our Growing Anti-War Protests

April 4, 2026 Iddo Elam, +972 Magazine. Resist! Antiwar Movement, Israel, State Repression, Wars and Militarism

For the past month, I have been gathering with fellow Israeli radical left activists in Tel Aviv’s Habima Square to protest the war with Iran. What began as a demonstration of barely 20 people has steadily grown: By this past Saturday, there were over 1,000 demonstrators, joined by parts of the more centrist anti-government protest movement, with parallel rallies held in dozens of locations across the country. This expansion of our anti-war protests appears to have unsettled the Israel Police, which has responded with disproportionate and indiscriminate force.

European Peace Movements Organize Against Militarization

Trade unionists, activists, organizers and politicians from the region came together in Brussels on March 14 for a peace conference organized by the Stop Militarization platform. A one-day event in the heart of the EU capital, the gathering brought together 350 participants and offered a plenary session that traced the general issues at the heart of the conference, followed by a choice between four workshops covering European rearmament, youth organizing against militarization, the false promises of military Keynesianism and the genocide in Palestine. The closing plenary centred trade unions that organize against the war industry.

Protests Against US-Israeli War On Iran Continue Across Europe

March 12, 2026 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. Resist! Antiwar Movement, European Union (EU), Iran, Wars and Militarism

On Saturday, March 7, over 30,000 people joined a demonstration in London protesting the illegal war waged by the United States and Israel against Iran. Thousands more took to the streets in other European countries, including Germany and Austria, all demanding an end to the war and for governments’ to respect sovereignty and international law. The event in London, organized by a coalition of anti-war and international solidarity groups, came amid several ongoing petitions calling on Keir Starmer’s government to steer away from complicity in the attacks, and statements by left and trade union leaders warning Britain risks following a catastrophic path.

Standing With Iran

February 26, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Anti-Imperialism, Antiwar Movement, Iran, Wars and Militarism

The United States has been determined to crush the Islamic Republic of Iran ever since a revolution brought it to power 47 years ago. In the 1980s the U.S. made Iraq’s president Saddam Hussein their proxy as he unleashed a war against Iran that killed an estimated 1 million people. The chemical weapons that the U.S. later used as a pretext for invasion and occupation of Iraq were actually used against Iran. The U.S. navy shot down an Iranian civilian airliner and killed 290 people in 1988. Vice President George H.W. Bush famously responded with these words. “I'll never apologize for the United States of America, ever. I don't care what the facts are. I’m not an apologize-for-America kind of guy.”

February 21-23 Global Days Of Action To Close Military Bases

January 21, 2026 World Beyond War. Resist! Antiwar Movement, Global Day of Action, Military bases, Peace, US military bases

Military bases, especially foreign ones — current and sought — generate wars. The United States has used its bases in Latin America and the Caribbean to attack Venezuela, while threatening to take over Greenland to build more bases there. Iran is bordered by seven nations with U.S. bases. The nations to the south and east of China are packed with U.S. bases, as is Europe, as is Israel. Africa has foreign bases from several empires. Russia is making more use of its bases in Belarus. On February 23, 1903, the United States took over Guantanamo from Cuba. It has never restored it. People across Latin America have used this date to organize events opposing bases, militarism, and the Monroe Doctrine.

Coretta Scott King Publicly Opposed Vietnam War Before MLK

January 19, 2026 Jesse Hagopian, Truthout. Educate! Antiwar Movement, Coretta King, Martin Luther King Jr, Racism

As Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids schools, states ban honest teaching about race and gender, and public officials invoke Martin Luther King Jr. to call for restraint and “civility,” King’s legacy is being aggressively stripped of its political substance. Much of the scholarship and public memory of King has long privileged his work in the South, reinforcing the idea that racism was a regional aberration rather than a national system. This narrowing also obscures the intellectual and political partnership at the heart of King’s work, particularly the leadership of Coretta Scott King, whose global vision, antiwar activism, and organizing shaped both King’s politics and the broader freedom struggle.

Anti-war Committee Kicks Off ‘No War With Venezuela’ Month Of Action

January 7, 2026 Fight Back! News. Organize! Antiwar Movement, Minnesota, Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela

Milwaukee, WI – On Monday, January 5, the Milwaukee Anti-war Committee (MAC) held a press conference at Milwaukee City Hall, announcing their “No War with Venezuela” month of action. This month of action came on the heels of the U.S. bombing Caracas and kidnapping Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. On Monday, while MAC held their press conference, President Maduro and Flores made their first appearance in federal court where Maduro faced four criminal charges. Maduro pleaded not guilty and asserted that he remains the legitimate president of Venezuela.

Fighting The Arms Trade: An Inside Job?

"You're just a war criminal,” the heckler said, appearing seemingly from nowhere. “If you’re working inside the arms industry, that makes you a war criminal. You’re complicit with imperialism,” she said, directing her ire at the Unite union rep sitting next to me. “How am I?” he asked as the rest of the table fell into an awkward silence. The rep was one of the speakers at a panel discussion at The World Transformed (TWT) Festival 2025 in Manchester last Saturday, focused on opposing militarism. His name and employer did not appear on TWT’s programme listing for the event, and so we’d better keep his identity anonymous here too.

‘No To Nato’s Endless Wars!’ Protesters Mobilize Across The Midwest

June 2, 2025 Liberation News. Organize! Anti-war Movement, Antiwar Movement, Endless Wars, NATO, Ohio

On a spring weekend in Dayton, Ohio — nearly three decades after the 1995 Dayton Accords was imposed to conclude one phase of the war in the Balkans — activists, community members, and organizers from across the Midwest and East Coast gathered to oppose NATO’s continued legacy of militarism, imperialism, and global destabilization. The People’s Assembly for Peace and Justice brought together over 400 participants from across Ohio and the entire region (outnumbering NATO’s 300 delegates), united under one clear demand: end NATO’s endless wars and stop pouring public funds into the war machine at the expense of communities.

Portland, OR – On Saturday November 9, nearly a hundred people gathered at Sunnyside Park in southeast Portland for a rally and march organized by Portland for Palestine (P4P). Protesters took to the streets to showing solidarity with Palestine and refusing to allow the election outcome to undercut the struggle for Palestinian liberation. P4P member Kacey DeSantis opened with, “The election has been called but our demands remain the same! End all U.S. aid to Israel! End the billions of unrestricted taxpayer dollars being sent to the settler state committing a genocide! Palestine and the death of an estimated 200,000 women, men and children is not an afterthought!
