WBW Peace Pledge 
“We understand that wars and militarism make us less safe rather than protect us, that they kill, injure and traumatize adults, children and infants, severely
damage the natural environment, erode civil liberties, and drain our economies, siphoning resources from life-affirming activities. We commit to engage
in and support nonviolent efforts to end all war and preparations for war and to create a sustainable and just peace.”

World Beyond War (distinct from Beyond War) is an anti-war organization with chapters and affiliates in about two dozen countries. The organization bills
itself as "a global nonviolent movement to end war and establish a just and sustainable peace." It is opposed to the very institution of war and not just
individual wars.
