Contact your representatives:
Most critically, contact your elected representative—do it often if you are able to, whenever an important issue is pending.
Refer them to this website for a vision of ending war. Ask them to create a department or program specifically tasked to work to end war. Tell them how you expect them to vote and why. They do listen to the repeated voices of you and their other constituents.
Bookmark their URLs for easy reference. Here are some important U.S. addresses:

Urge your civic and religious groups to spread the word that we can end war:
Are you a member of any organization with political or civic interests (church, mosque, temple, PAC, political party, voter organizations, business groups)? Let them know you want them to spread the word that it's time to end war. There are countless such organizations in countries around the world.
Volunteer some of your time and/or money:
Give to any of the thousands of organizations working on any aspect of a campaign to
- spread democracy
- teach tolerance and nonviolent conflict resolution
- shift our economies from ones based on war to ones that will help to end war
- empower women everywhere
- ensure that people everywhere have the basic resources for life, health, and education
- find ways to engage young men and women in their communities and in this campaign to end war
- oversee government spending to ensure that money for defense is spent on needed projects, not wasteful ones
