About

One labour, our power: stop the war machine

The drive to global war has a vulnerable choke point: workers. Refuse to Move unites trade unions globally to halt the weapons shipments, data contracts, and logistics fueling imperialist war.


The moment is now.

A $2 trillion militarization surge is the pretext for brutal austerity. The Mediterranean dockworkers’ coordinated strike of February 2026 proved labor’s strategic refusal can stop the gears of war. That power is in our hands. We must wield it to end our complicity in war, oppression, and genocide.

The system in crisis.

The long downturn of global capitalism has produced a desperate turn toward militarism.

Imperialist intervention has crushed sovereign development in the Global South for decades. We stand for the right of all peoples to determine their future, free from military coercion.

Leaders across Europe and the U.S. demand massive defense budgets while working people pay the price. Their war is our austerity.

The pledge

I refuse to move the machinery of war.

Workers keep the world moving — and we can bring the war machine to a halt. Sign the pledge and stand with dockworkers, drivers, and logistics workers who refuse to handle weapons shipments.
