The Stop Rearm Europe - Italy network, which today brings together over 500 organisations, is convening a public online assembly to continue building convergence against war, rearmament, and Europe’s militaristic drift.
There is no time to lose: stopping war, rearmament, genocide, authoritarianism, and the militarisation of our lives is a collective responsibility.
