Towards a People’s Peace: A Task for Activists, Peacebuilders, and Allies

Framing Essays for the 2025 Copenhagen People Power Conference

Published by ICNC Press

This publication is part of the REACT (Research in Action) collaboration between ActionAid Denmark (AADK) and ICNC.

This book brings together cutting-edge research and first-person accounts from activists and peacebuilders on the frontlines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Sri Lanka, alongside insights for a global solidarity movement from activists in Palestine, Ukraine, and Lebanon. It offers a bold vision for how movements can shape peace and security, and practical lessons for policymakers and allies committed to supporting peace from below.

By Hardy Merriman, Ola Ibrahim, Gino Govender, Haynes Mohammed, Véronique Dudouet, Steward Muhindo, and Shreen Saroor
