Abolish US MIlitary Bases
Posted: 13th February 2026
World BEYOND War’s chapter in Madison, Wisconsin, U.S., got great media coverage this past weekend for a walk for peace on a frozen lake. That’s the sort of creative idea you might want to try where you are on February 21-23, and let us help promote it as part of the Global Days of Action to #CloseBases.
You can do an event near a military base or not, indoors or outdoors. You can do . . .
- An educational event using WBW resources and local information we can help you compile
- A film screening or slide show or speakers presentation
- A rally or vigil
- A demonstrations at a decision-makers’ office
- Flyering workers at the entrance gates as they drive in and out of a base
- Celebratory events at base sites that have been prevented, closed, or converted
- An event announcing a proposal to convert a base to something useful
- A banner drop or art creating, or concert, or town-square rally or march
- A march to a media outlet’s offices to ask for a meeting that has been denied
- A snow sculpture, balloon sculpture, or spelling out words on a beach.
We have everything you need to make this super easy at https://daytoclosebases.org
Go there, add your event to the map, and we’ll help promote it.
Email us your questions and your brilliant ideas!
