anti-war protest
March against conflict
An anti-war protest is a public demonstration opposing military action or armed conflict.
Protesters may march, hold vigils, or engage in civil disobedience to pressure governments against entering, continuing, or escalating wars: The anti-war protests of the Vietnam era drew millions into the streets.
Such protests often combine moral opposition to violence with political criticism of specific military policies.
