Are you looking for a way to get involved in local anti-war organizing? Do you want to learn how everyday people can take action to resist militarism and promote real peace? Do you want to join a global movement of people who care about building a better world for everyone? In this Online Info Session recorded on June 30, 2026, we talk about the nuts & bolts of starting a chapter, and hear examples of what our chapter coordinators are working on.

Featuring opening remarks by award-winning author & activist Rivera Sun and presentations from members of the WBW Madison, Wisconsin, U.S. Chapter!

Author Rivera Sun is a visionary writer whose work aims to awaken and empower readers of all ages. She is the founding editor of the prize-winning Nonviolence News. Rivera currently serves on the Advisory Board of World BEYOND War and the board of Backbone Campaign, and works with Pace e Bene’s Campaign Nonviolence with tens of thousands of people across the country and globe.

The Madison for a World BEYOND War Chapter was launched in 2022. The chapter advocates for war abolition and an end to the genocide in Gaza. It calls on elected officials to stop arming Israel and reduce military spending, stop flying F-35 warplanes over Madison, and to push for diplomacy to end the war in Ukraine. The chapter organizes regular anti-war film screenings, war abolition walks, and war tax resistance workshops, and facilitates a student internship program at University of Wisconsin-Madison and Madison College.
