Mapping the Path to Conscientious Objection

We are collecting comprehensive data on the process of becoming a conscientious objector across denominational lines. Our research spans multiple traditions—Episcopalian, Mennonite, Methodist, and more—so we can clearly document the routes available to those seeking to conscientiously refuse military service.

Building a Network of Support for COs

We are working with universities to create scholarships that support conscientious objectors. Since college and career pathways often align with military recruitment, we aim to provide alternative opportunities, particularly for BIPOC communities, low-income individuals, and other groups disproportionately targeted for enlistment.

Launching a National Movement for Peace

We are calling on individuals to take a stand: to publicly commit to refusing future wars and to advocate for international conflict resolution that prioritizes creativity over destruction. Through public pledges and advocacy efforts, we are building a culture where peace is not only possible but inevitable.
