Founded on September 11th 2001, Peace Not War operated in London as a not-for-profit record label and concert production company until 2007. We released 253,000 CDs of anti-war and pro-peace music that provided the soundtrack to the peace movement resisting war – especially the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. We networked musicians with their local activist organizations, co-ordinating conscious
ness-raising concerts and street protests. Our unique input was to attract youth into the peace movement – using lyrics as an educational medium, and as an energetic motivation. Peace Not War always was, and always will be, a non-partisan, multi-cultural and interfaith network of musicians working in solidarity with all aspects of the global peace movement. Peace Not War donated all proceeds of music sales to various peace activism organizations around the world. Now Peace Not War has been reformed as a Community Interest Company in response to escalating climate change, and ongoing warfare and military spending.
