— Adam Kawalec
00:02:34 Modern wars cause harm, civilian casualties unacceptable. Overspending on the military. Training desensitises soldiers. War propaganda secures support. Nonviolence is the alternative for social change.
00:05:12 Peace is not just the absence of fighting. Ask yourself, do you want someone to do something because they want to, or because you told them to? This applies on a global level too.
00:09:18 Are leaders truly listening? Conflict victims matter.
00:10:48 Nonviolent action vital for peace and democracy.
