Keep reading for something you can do to open people’s minds to all the many costs of wars.

The Fifth Annual 24-Hour Peace Wave remains a 24-hour-long Zoom featuring peace actions in the streets and squares of the world, moving around the globe with the sun. But participants will have until November 1, 2026, to submit videos of peace activism, filmed at any time in the first 10 months of 2026.

Or print the first page as a big poster and the next two double-sided on one sheet. Hand them out and talk to people. Invite media.
