A group of organisations and activists, united in the Counter Summit Coalition for Peace and Justice, is organising a demonstration and counter summit against NATO in The Hague on 21 and 22 June. In the weekend preceding the NATO summit, the coalition wants to make its voice heard.

The counter-summit will feature panel discussions, workshops and lectures on the dangers of NATO’s military policy and alternative solutions for sustainable and just peace. This will be followed by a demonstration against the NATO war summit. The organisers expect a diverse group of participants from the Netherlands and abroad.

In the coming period, the organisation will be organising the counter-summit and demonstration and spreading its message. Through activism, lectures and articles, they will raise awareness of the opposition to militarisation and the need for alternatives.
