INVITATION: Abolishing War – Challenges and Opportunities - Celebrating MAW at 25
Event Date: 29th September 2026
Location: Online, 7:30 - 9:00pm
Dear Peace Group supporters,
Instead of our usual Zoom meeting in October, your planning group yesterday decided to encourage everyone to join the zoom on 29th October to celebrate 25 years of the Movement for the Abolition of War, the group which formed after the “Hague Appeal for Peace” conference in 1999 to which Abingdon Peace Group went in force (well, 7 of us!). We hope you will join us then!
INVITATION: Abolishing War – Challenges and Opportunities – Celebrating MAW at 25
The Movement for the Abolition of War is 25 this year and we warmly invite you to an online meeting to mark the occasion.
This will take place from 7.30 – 9pm on Thursday 29 October on Zoom. Registration is via the website: https://abolishwar.net/happy-25th/ We will have a photo presentation looking back at some of our activities over the past 25 years, and have asked our speakers – including Professor Paul Rogers, our president – to tell us what they see as hopeful signs towards positive change. The attached flyer gives more details.
Obviously, much work lies ahead for any campaign with the ambitious goal of helping to eliminate war. Our supporters have been asked to write a few words to complete the sentence “To abolish war we need to ….” on an A4 sheet, and either email it to [email protected] or (even better) send in a photo of yourself holding your A4 sheet.
We hope very much that you will join us for the ‘MAW at 25’ celebration. Please book a place now!
And a reminder that this year’s Remembrance Lecture will be given by Rowan Williams on Sunday 8th November at 3pm in London, shortly after the Alternative Remembrance Ceremony in Tavistock Square. More details are also on the website, here: https://abolishwar.net/remembrance-lecture-2026/
Yours in peace

Co-convener, Movement for the Abolition of War https://abolishwar.net/
