How do we move towards a world without wars, weapons, police, prisons, the death penalty, and borders? Come to #NoWar2025 to explore how we can join in solidarity across movements and borders to abolish these interwoven systems and build a world based on common security — “no one is safe until all are safe.”
#NoWar2025 will make the case for abolition, explore intersections between abolitionist movements, learn from successful case studies of abolition, and strategize about how we can truly move towards a world beyond war.

The crises of our time demand a holistic approach that acknowledges the interconnectedness of systems of oppression and the need for a collective abolition movement that dismantles state violence at all levels. Abolition invites us to reimagine safety and security beyond punishment, control, and state violence.
Importantly, dismantling violent and oppressive systems does not mean that society is left in a vacuum without support. On the contrary, abolition necessitates creating community-led nonviolent systems that center common security. These models already exist and can be learned from and replicated.
Throughout three days of panels, trainings, and breakout room discussions, leading educators, activists, and organizers from around the world will share examples of abolition in action, from Costa Rica abolishing its military to South Africa ending apartheid. We'll learn how communities are implementing practices beyond prisons, policing, and punishment, such as violence interruption programs, nonviolent deescalation, community safety, restorative and transformative justice, and more.

The #NoWar2025 Virtual Conference on October 24-26 will be a key moment to come together across borders and movements to explore abolition as a visionary and necessary approach to dismantling systems of violence, while cultivating communities rooted in justice, care, and collective well-being. Join us.
