Dear John,

Curious about what we replace the war system with? Join our upcoming online course, War Abolition 201. At the end of this course, you will be able to debunk the myths of war, educate about its alternatives, and advocate for structural and cultural change.
We will cover:

Why a peace system is possible
The foundations of an alternative system
Humane global governance
Ecological security
Peace economics
The role of civil society
Peace education
And more……

This course is for activists, advocates, educators, academics, community leaders, and anyone interested in issues of war abolition and peacebuilding. The course will run from April 13 to May 24, 2020. The course is 100% online and interactions are not live or scheduled, so you can take part whenever works for you. During the coronavirus crisis, we are offering War Abolition 201 on a sliding scale, starting at $25 USD.

This course is led by a group of experts who have been working on these topics for decades:

Expert trainer in non-violent action and retired emergency physician, John Reuwer
Prominent anti-war activist and retired U.S. Navy Commander, Leah Bolger
Renowned strategist and author on nonviolence and peace, Rivera Sun
International peace activist and war tax refuser, Kathy Kelly
Cutting-edge practitioner-scholar and WBW’s Education Director, Phill Gittins
Distinguished author, multiple Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, and WBW’s Executive Director, David Swanson

These guest experts will help you to explore weekly topics through an online chat room. Weekly content includes a mix of text, images, video, and audio. You can also participate in three 1-hour optional zoom calls which are designed to facilitate a more interactive, real-time, and experiential learning experience.

War isn’t going away on its own. That’s why we created War Abolition 201 to lay out the frameworks, processes, tools and institutions necessary for ending war and establishing a just and sustainable peace. Spread the word on Facebook & Twitter.

On behalf of the whole World BEYOND War team, stay safe and healthy.
