antiwar protests
Rallies opposing conflict
Antiwar protests are public demonstrations opposing military conflict or intervention.
Protesters march, rally, or engage in civil disobedience to pressure governments against entering, continuing, or escalating wars: Antiwar protests swept college campuses during the Vietnam era.
The term often evokes the massive mobilizations of the 1960s and early 2000s, though such protests have accompanied virtually every major conflict.
