#NoWar2025: Exploring Abolition Movements is a global online conference bringing together activists, thinkers, organizers, and communities committed to dismantling systems of war, policing, prisons, borders, and state violence. This year’s theme focuses on how we can learn from past and present abolition movements to build a world grounded in common security and collective liberation.
Through panels, workshops, and breakout sessions, #NoWar2025 aims to deepen our understanding of abolition across systems and borders — and advance the movement for a world beyond war.
