Reason for payment: ‘NoNATO events‘
As NATO held its summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, on July 11th and 12th 2023, the peace movement organised internationally. We organised protests – and as well as saying No to NATO, we said Yes to peace, presenting alternatives to war, and a new vision of security.
In March 2023, many women got together online, globally, to ensure women’s mobilization on this crucial issue. We call ourselves Global Women for Peace United Against NATO and we have produced a Declaration for Peace, outlining our message of peace, justice, solidarity, and common security.
As part of the international protests, we organised a programme of events in Brussels, home of the NATO headquarters. From July 6th to 9th, there were meetings, debates, seminars, and street actions – and much of it is available on this website. (See “Events” and “Media & More” above).
Please join us however you can – and help us expand participation, especially from those living in NATO states, or in NATO ‘partner’ countries. The events are women-led but we welcome all who are against NATO to participate.
The Declaration, together with the names and affiliations of the first signatories can be found on this page. Click on the tab above to find the Declaration translated into many languages. More are being added all the time.
The Declaration and list of signatories has been sent to the NATO headquarters, NATO members and partners, and their parliaments, together with the EU Commission and members of the European Parliament. We will make sure our voices are heard – voices for peace and justice!
Will you join us?
Let’s build this movement for peace together!
