Have you read our GDAMS report this year? If not yet, we've got you! Our GDAMS 2026 report is available on our website. It covers all the actions taken worldwide to push for major cuts in military spending and promote peace instead. People came together for protests, rallies, webinars, press conferences, forums, podcasts, petitions, and many more, organising over 70 GDAMS actions.

Our Appeal “A Call to Action Against Global Militarization” was endorsed by over 200 organizations from 37 different countries across 5 continents.

Our heartfelt gratitude to every partner, collaborator, activist, and friend who made GDAMS 2026 possible, especially to the members of our steering group. Your continued involvement -even during these challenging times- reflects the genuine commitment to peace and disarmament that drives our movement. We look forward to reuniting next year to continue this vital work.
