Network for Peace

World Beyond War is a global nonviolent movement to end war and establish a just and sustainable peace.

WILPF, the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, are staging a reconstruction of the protest that women made at the Kingsway Hall, London against the declaration of war on 4th August 1914. We will have banners depicting 4 of the women who made that protest, many of whom went on to become founders of WILPF the following year. The reconstruction will take place opposite Holborn Tube Station (close to where the Kingway hall used to be). WILPF welcomes your support.

Camp will stand in solidarity with communities opposing fracking, and will be a hub for skillshares, workshops, entertainment and direct action.

Stalls, food, music and more.

Guest Speaker:
