Learn more about us
The Peace Pledge Union has been promoting pacifism in the UK since 1934, in alliance with other pacifists around the world.
- We promote peacebuilding and nonviolence, providing educational resources on issues such as conflict resolution and the causes of war.
- We maintain an extensive archive on conscientious objection.
- We call for remembrance for all victims of war of all nationalities, with remembrance linked to a commitment to peace and a rejection of militarism. These values are exemplified by the white poppies that we distribute every year.
- We challenge everyday militarism: the introduction of Armed Forces Day, the rise in military visits to schools, the veneration of the armed forces, and other practices that normalise war and weaponry.
- We speak up in the media and in public about military spending and recruitment, calling for the UK's military budget to be spent instead on tackling the causes of war.
