Waging Nonviolence (WNV) is a distinct non-profit media organization committed to providing original reporting and expert analysis on social movements around the globe. Established in 2009, WNV is dedicated to shining a light on those championing just and peaceful solutions to critical issues, thereby promoting public understanding of the influential role of these movements in shaping politics.

The organization's primary service is its comprehensive on-the-ground movement coverage, supplemented by insightful commentary that draws from historical context and recent research. A significant part of their work is focused on underrepresented movements in the Global South, fostering cross-cultural knowledge and skill-sharing.

In addition to its reporting, WNV operates a unique Community platform. This platform grants grassroots organizations and university programs focused on social movements, an individually-branded page to share stories about their work, with the added advantage of editorial backing from WNV. Supported by membership dues, this service enlarges the organization's movement coverage, adding diverse perspectives, and bolstering movement media more broadly.

WNV's unwavering commitment to accuracy, transparency, and editorial independence sets it apart in the media industry, making it a leading source of information on global social movements, and a catalyst for inspiring readers to realize their potential agency.
