September 21 is the UN International Day of Peace! We’re marking this historic day with an online webinar featuring two special guest speakers who will address the ongoing struggles to counter militarism, build a world beyond war, and resist the climate crisis.
We invite people from across Canada and around the world to join us to listen, share, and learn more about how we can build the world we need.
