The StopRearm Europe Campaign consists of peace and activist organisations from across Europe. It aims at connecting organizations resisting the EU’s rearmament plan and relaunching a European peace movement. Further, it offers a platform for sharing information about events organized both online and physically, while it organizes anti-militarization actions, emphasizing the importance of involving youth, addressing militarization in schools, and creating awareness through media outreach.
The EuroMemo Group has been a supporter of the StopRearm Europe Campaign from the start. Its 2025 annual conference, co-organized with Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences, is going to deal with the question “Europe quo vadis: Militarisation or Socio-ecological transformation?” (Athens, 22-23 September 2025). Details about the Call for Papers and the Conference programme can be found HERE.
We repost the Call to Action here:
“We oppose the EU’s plans to spend an extra €800 billion on arms. This will be €800 billion stolen. Stolen from social services, health, education, labour, peace building, international cooperation, from a just transition and climate justice. It will only benefit arms manufacturers in Europe, in the USA and elsewhere.
It will make war more likely, and the future less safe for everyone! It will generate more debt, more austerity, more borders. It will deepen racism. It will fuel climate change. We do not need more weapons; we do not need to prepare for more wars. What we need is a totally different plan: real, social, ecological and common security for Europe and for the world.”
Stand up against war. Stop ReArm Europe.
