Peace & Justice Themes
Every two months we focus on a different peace & justice theme. Find out more about all the themes we’ve highlighted at Peace Hub, and how you can get involved.
Think Global, Act Local, Get Equal
Let’s make our economy work for everyone!
By thinking global we can take on tax-dodgers around the world. By acting local we can make sure the benefits of the economy are shared amongst everyone. By getting equal we can improve the things we really care about.
Our Shared Environment
Let’s protect the places we love.
Our local environment is something we can all share and enjoy together. But the spaces we love are under threat: together we can take action to protect and improve our shared environment.
Taking a Stand
Let’s support freedom of conscience
Around the world, efforts to make peace often bring activists into conflict with theauthorities. Many people are still putin prison for standing up for their beliefs today. 100 years on fromWWI, let’s say: Never Again and instead build peace & justice.
A Place to Call Home
Let’smake sure everyone has somewhere fit to live.
Let’s help make sure people have a roof over their head at night and are safe from unliveable conditions and sudden eviction. Let’s tackle the underlying problems and make sure everyone has somewhere fit to live.
Speak - Listen - Change
Let’s support each other’s mental wellbeing.
1 in 4 people experience a mental health problem each year, and our attitude can affect their life.
Peaceful Brum
What can we do to create peace in our city?
Let’s celebrate the positive people, places & organisations that are already helping to make peace in our city and think about what we can all do to help our community.
Our Shared Future
Be the friendly face of Brum
Refugees are fleeing from danger in their home country and come to britain to ask for safety. Let’s show that Brum is a welcoming city, proud to be a place of sanctuary.
Love & Pride
Let’s celebrate our diversity
People of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities are valuable members of our community: our diversity makes us stronger. Let’s make sure that LGBT people are accepted and celebrated in our society.
Time to Bin Trident
Let’s spend £100 billion on health, housing & renewables: not nuclear weapons.
It’s time to consign Trident to the rubbish bin, and instead focus on peace-building, cooperation and justice.
Conscientious Objection
Then & Now
Conscientious objectors in WWI stood up for the right to refuse to kill. They worked for peaceful resoluntion to international conflict. But the freedoms they wonar e not always respected across the world.
Live, Love, Learn

Stop Arming Repression
Let’s put human rights first
The UK sells weapons to over 100 countriues around the world, including many where violent repression occurs. Let’s stop subsidising arms, and put the moneyi nto renewable energy.
