*[Enwl-eng] We Have the Opportunity to Reimagine the World

[ENWL]

                        As United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres 
said in his argument for a global ceasefire in the face of the Coronavirus: 
"It is time to put armed conflict on lockdown and focus together on the true 
fight of our lives."

                        This global pandemic does not discriminate and has 
been difficult to mitigate for even the most otherwise powerful and wealthy 
nations. Meanwhile, as militarism rages around the world and the most 
historically vulnerable people continue to suffer the most, many nations 
have already signed on for a global ceasefire and the lifting of sanctions. 
If nothing else, this moment is giving us a unique opportunity to step back 
and reimagine what our world could look like beyond war.

                        COMING MAY 5, 2020:

                        May 5th is #GIvingTuesdayNow, a new global day of 
giving to mobilize support and healing for communities suffering across the 
world due to COVID-19. What better way to bring safety and security to the 
global community than through the abolition of war, including lifting 
sanctions—many of which are preventing medical supplies, medications, and 
food and water from reaching those who need them most right now.

                        With your support, we can work to create a better 
and more secure future for everyone: beyond borders, or race, or faith—this 
crisis we’re in does not draw lines boxing us into one group or another and 
instead, affects us all universally. By supporting World BEYOND War this 
#GivingTuesdayNow, we can strengthen our educational and activism work to 
bring an end to the devastation and global suffering brought on by the 
proliferation of senseless wars and acts of passive militarism like 
crippling sanctions.
