Global Voices for Peace: Defending Peace, Democracy and Human Rights

May 21, 10-11:30am ET

Today, authoritarianism is rising. Militarism is spreading. And democratic and multilateral norms and processes are eroding. Our 2026 dialogue series brings peacebuilders and those concerned with human rights and social justice together to respond. Let's deepen our collective analysis. Let's strengthen transnational solidarity. And let's take action together. 

Join us for an online session where we will present and discuss findings from the 2025 Global Voices for Peace series. Read more in “Global Voices for Peace: Defending Peace, Democracy and Human Rights.”

This session will center on: 
        • Global civil society priorities and renewed calls for peace. 
        • Democracy. 
        • Humanitarian access. 
        • Accountable and equitable systems for global collaboration.  

AFSC will also introduce its broader work on organizing and non-violent resistance in authoritarian contexts
