Acquiring new knowledge is just the first part of learning. The second piece is putting ideas into practice. Course participants are encouraged to participate in guided discussions on the online chat room. And short weekly written assignments will help you test out your talking points.

The 6-week course will debunk the myths that war is inevitable, beneficial, just, or necessary, and offer its alternatives. We'll dig deep into the environmental impact of war, which is a leading contributor to the climate crisis. We'll also discuss the economic cost of war, to the tune of $2 trillion a year.

War isn't going away on its own. What must we understand about the war system if we are to dismantle it? How can we become more effective advocates for peace? Sign up for War Abolition 101 to find out.
