peace protests
Marches against conflict
Peace protests are organized public demonstrations opposing war, military action, or armed conflict.
Participants typically advocate for nonviolent resolution of disputes or withdrawal from ongoing conflicts.
The term spans everything from candlelit vigils to mass marches: Peace protests erupted across the country after the invasion.
Unlike broader antiwar movements, peace protests emphasize the demonstration itself rather than the sustained campaign.
