*[Enwl-eng] Pocket Change Can Transform the World

[ENWL]

                        COVID-19 is exposing how out of whack the priorities 
of our governments can be. Look at this simple comparison:


                        This is a moment in which our societies can, and 
likely will, be turned either toward greater violence, resource extraction, 
and greed, or toward a more sensible and sustainable set of priorities, such 
as those argued for by World BEYOND War.

                        As a global peace organization, we've always relied 
on the internet. Now we've dramatically increased our use of videos, 
webinars, and online gatherings to organize for a global ceasefire and a 
transfer of resources to systems of defense against actual dangers.

                        This takes funding, and our annual conference (which 
raises funds as well as activism) has been postponed for a year. Here's what 
a donation to World BEYOND War can help us do:


                        A $15 USD donation covers our service provider costs 
to host a free educational webinar, such as the one last night and others 
recently held. Many more are coming this spring.

                        A $25 donation covers a month’s cost of hosting our 
website. Our website is in itself an educational and organizing tool with 
extensive multimedia resources for building a movement to abolish war.

                        A $50 donation covers the costs of a WBW chapter 
promo pack. Currently, World BEYOND War coordinates 16 chapters in 7 
countries with several more in the launch phase. We also maintain 
partnerships with 82 affiliates around the world. Our chapters work 
aggressively within their respective legislative structures to redirect 
resources toward programs that promote social and economic justice.

                        A $75 donation can put 10 copies of our book A 
Global Security System: An Alternative to War (AGSS) into classrooms. AGSS 
is a blueprint for abolishing war and replacing it with a sustainable 
security system. It has already proven to be a useful tool in classrooms 
across the world.


                        “What a treasure. It is so well written and 
conceptualized. The beautiful text and design immediately captured the 
attention and imagination of my 90 graduate and undergraduate students. 
Visually and substantively, the clarity of the book appeals to young people 
in a way textbooks have not.” —Barbara Wien, American University

                        A $100 donation can translate and publish the 
summary version of AGSS in another language. It's already in eight!

                        We do so much with so little because we rely heavily 
on dedicated and talented volunteers for almost everything we do. This model 
means that your contribution goes very far!

                        A larger donation is much appreciated, but 
especially appreciated is becoming a recurring donor. For $15 USD a 
month—less than 50 cents a day—you can contribute to building an on-going 
sustained movement to abolish war. Remember to choose a book or shirt as a 
premium when you become a recurring donor!




                        Thanks for all you do!
