Rally In Brussels on 14 June & Month Of Decentralized Action Across Europe!
Brussels | June 14
Europe | Month Of Decentralized Action in June
We have been witnessing unprecedented levels of destruction and a war on life itself.
Genocides are being normalised, civilian infrastructure becoming the preferred target, international institutions paralysed by inaction.
Europe is no bystander.
Across the continent, governments are preparing citizens for war, reintroducing conscription, and diverting public resources to the war machine — while industry lines up to profit.
EU Institutions, keen to appease the global superpower, are content to aid imperial fantasies of reactionary forces as represented by Trump, Netanyahu and Alex Karp of Palantir: the red carpet is still rolled out, the weapons systems still exported, their bombers resupplied. This new age they wish to herald will be made even darker through expansion of software tested on Palestinians and built to maximise death and destruction.
We refuse this. And we are mobilising.
Join us — in Brussels and across Europe!
On 14 June at 2pm, we are taking to the streets of Brussels, in front of the institutions driving Europe’s rearmament. Together with the Stop Militarization Platform, we call on social movements, trade unions, civil society organisations, independent media, political forces, and parliamentarians — at European and national levels — to join us. Afterwards, we will gather in assembly to discuss and strategise the next steps of a Europe-wide mobilisation against the ReArm agenda.
14 June is a common focal point, not an endpoint. Throughout the month, movements, organisations and communities across the continent are called to organise their own demonstrations, public meetings, and coordinated actions.
Don’t forget to write us an email at [email protected] and to submit your action to the Calendar here [and here on Todon Acties]!
Let this be the month in which the Europe of peace, rights and democracy makes itself visible in the streets!
Why we are mobilising?
In the name of “security,” the European Union and NATO are pushing an unprecedented military expansion. €800 billion is already being redirected toward arms — resources taken from healthcare, education, climate action, and social provision. Over the next decade this could rise to €6.8 trillion, as NATO pressures member states toward military spending of up to 5% of GDP.
This is a permanent war economy that will reshape every part of life in Europe and beyond:
It deepens conflicts rather than resolving them. Pouring billions into weapons fuels global tensions and entrenches the logic that military force — not diplomacy — is Europe’s answer to every crisis.
It accelerates an arms race. Countries will react to their neighbours arming, with more weapons. Armed borders, proliferation of military bases, and readiness to invest in nuclear weapons will become the new normal.
It is a transfer of wealth from life to destruction. Every euro spent on weapons is a euro taken from social protection, just transition, and public services. Rearmament and the dismantling of our welfare systems are one and the same.
It targets the next generation. A rearmed Europe will demand soldiers. Young people will be asked to fight and die in wars they did not choose. Moreover, it will leave future generations with even greater debt.
It reshapes our societies. Militarisation brings surveillance, repression of dissent, and shrinking democratic space. War politics always carry authoritarian consequences.
We reject this direction. We stand for a Europe grounded in peace, democracy, human rights, and social and climate justice — a Europe that invests in care, solidarity, and international cooperation rather than in the arms industry.
