Anti‐war and peace movements are social movements that concentrate on many issues related to war, armed conflict, and violence. Often, they focus on calling for an end to a specific conflict, the abolition of war, and the elimination of weaponry, as well as the creation of nonviolent mechanisms to solve conflicts. Historically, strategies for change have included violent acts such as assassination, self‐immolation, and/or the destruction of property. However, the vast majority of people participating in these movements utilize nonviolent tactics. These approaches include wide‐scale boycotts, protests and marches, sit‐ins, speeches, letter‐writing campaigns, education and outreach, and voting
