Help Us End War
Founded in 2014, World BEYOND War (WBW) is a global grassroots nonviolent movement of volunteers, activists, and allied organizations advocating for an end to war and the establishment of a just and sustainable peace. We aim to create awareness and support for ending war and to develop that support by advancing the idea of abolishing the institution of war. In doing so, we strive to replace a culture of war with an alternative global security system based on peace and diplomacy.
With a presence in over 200 countries, we have over 50 chapters in 40+ countries, and over 120 affiliate organizations. With this network, war is now being confronted by a strategic popular resistance which positions us well to continue building the movement to end all wars.
World BEYOND War (WBW) is unique in its overall purpose to abolish the entire institution of war and replace it with a security system based in sustainable peace. We are a global movement that works to bring citizens of the world together to end all wars — not one siloed in its work or focused on any single war. This distinguishes us from others working in the anti-war space — as does our two-pronged approach of education and activism. We recognize the intersections between war and social issues that are not always obvious and believe that in order to replace a culture of militarism, it is imperative that we are a movement rooted in equality. Only with a diverse and inclusive base, will war truly be replaced with a just and sustainable system of security. This includes recognizing root issues and engaging groups disproportionately impacted by systems of violence and oppression. We have forged alliances with groups and individuals in the fields of environmentalism, anti-poverty, health, civil rights, racial justice, refugee rights, etc. to focus on the interconnectedness of issues. This overall intersectional and global approach to stop the war machine is one of the most effective elements of our work and one that trickles down into all of our programming.
Just Food Hub
We are raising awareness in our local communities about real organic and fair-traded food, worker coops, and corporate consolidation in the food system. Our products include high-quality and affordable artisan food like coffee, chocolate, tea, and hot sauce from cooperative farms in the Global South, Palestine, and small US organic farms.
Just Food Hub’s mission is to offer community groups, like World BEYOND War, a regular fundraiser for their valuable work in our communities. We do this by selling these wonderful foods online and giving the profits to the community group. World BEYOND War receives 25% of all purchases when you click World BEYOND War at checkout. We offer free delivery of your purchases in 18 Central Vermont towns and can ship them elsewhere for a $10 charge.
Just Food Hub collaborates with Equal Exchange, a worker coop developing a noncapitalist people-centered food system that brings food justice and integrity to the US family table. Equal Exchange promotes organic and sustainable farming practices and democratic and worker-owned farming cooperatives throughout the Global South, Palestine, and the United States.
In addition to helping you eat well and building strong local economies and community groups, we are working to address the climate crisis and food insecurity. Join us and be the change you want to see in the world.
Orders of $75 or more will come with a free organic cotton shopping bag.
