pacifist movements
Organized nonviolence efforts
Pacifist movements are organized efforts opposing war and military violence, advocating instead for peaceful conflict resolution.
They range from religious groups like Quakers to secular organizations campaigning against specific wars or nuclear weapons.
The pacifist movement gained momentum during the Vietnam era.
