GDAMS 2025 - Global Days of Action on Military Spending | April 10 – May 9

This year's campaign focuses on how wars are driving military spending around the world. Escalating violence in Israel and Gaza, Ukraine, and over 30 other conflicts in the global south are being fuelled by increased militarisation and increasingly nationalist narratives. Coinciding with the release of the annual SIPRI Report on global military spending, the event aims to inspire an international discussion on reallocating military expenditures to social welfare, environmental protection, and peace initiatives. We must continue to demand a peace budget, defund war, protest spiralling military budgets, and start investing in peace and human security.

World Beyond War

World Beyond War is a global nonviolent movement dedicated to ending war and establishing a just and sustainable peace. The organization focuses on educating the public about the destructiveness of warfare and militarism while advocating for alternative approaches that can resolve conflicts without violence. They challenge the notion that war is necessary for security or an inevitable part of human nature. Instead, they promote a vision of security based on cooperation and the fulfilment of basic human needs.
