ARMISTICE REMEMBRANCE DAY FOR PEACE ANTHOLOGY, NOVEMBER 11, 2026
Compiled by Dick Bennett for a Culture of Peace, Justice, Ecology, and Democracy What’s at Stake: The First World War ended in November 1918 when an armistice between Germany and the Allies was declared at the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month,” marking a moment of hope and the promise of peace. For many years, this day served as a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and a collective vow of “War No More.” This is still the case in some countries.

Early Voting is the one and only “In” Thing right now
