World Beyond War (distinct from Beyond War) is an anti-war organization with chapters and affiliates in about two dozen countries. [1]
The organization bills itself as "a global nonviolent movement to end war and establish a just and sustainable peace." [2] It is opposed to the very institution of war and not just individual wars.
World Beyond War publishes books, maintains a speakers bureau, funds the installation of billboards, hosts conferences, organizes protests, and produces webinars. Its book "A Global Security System: An Alternative to War" [3] has been updated and published yearly since 2015 in print, ebook, and audio formats. There is an accompanying online study and discussion guide.
Started in 2014 and headquartered Chartlottesville, Virginia, World Beyond Wars's executive director is David Swanson.
