peace advocates
Promoters of harmony
Peace advocates are people who actively promote nonviolent resolution of conflicts and oppose war.
The term describes activists, organizations, or public figures who campaign against military action or nuclear weapons: Peace advocates gathered outside the embassy to protest the bombing.
The phrase carries no inherent judgment—it's used both admiringly and dismissively depending on the speaker's politics.
