The EBCO has made a call for the military to stop. They said that “In times of pandemic, EBCO (European Bureau for Conscientious Objection) and Movimento Nonviolento come together to say that there is always a useful distancing: that of our consciences from war and its preparation. What does it mean? It means spending in sectors that defend us from real threats to society and our lives, as this virus is overwhelmingly showing us. It means supporting conscientious objectors to military service who refuse to train to kill others. It means defending and promoting human rights, such as the right to health and the right to life especially for the most vulnerable.

What can you do?

Take a photo with one of our wonderful signs and share it with us by tagging our Facebook and Instagram accounts.

Use the #StayAtHome #MilitaryDistancing hashtags until May 15th, International Conscientious Objection Day.

Even if we cannot take to the streets, we remain united in our homes to reiterate our opposition to the war and its preparation.”
