*[Enwl-eng] Ending Iran Sanctions / Announcing NoWar2021

[ENWL]

                        1. There is an opportunity that won't last long to 
end deadly sanctions imposed by the U.S. government on Iran, and move toward 
peace and diplomacy. Click here or read below.

                        2. The NoWar2021 conference may be our best yet, is 
planned for June 4-6, and can be attended by anyone anywhere with no travel 
required. More info and early-bird discount registration are here and below.

                        In violation of legal bans on collective punishment, 
U.S. sanctions on Iran harm ordinary people, not the Iranian government. 
These crippling sanctions have robbed the people of their livelihood, 
violating individuals' right to health, making the Coronavirus pandemic more 
lethal, and causing unnecessary suffering and death.

                        President-Elect Biden has expressed his willingness 
to lift at least some sanctions and rejoin the Joint Comprehensive Plan of 
Action, aka the Iran Nuclear Agreement.

                        The Iranian government has maintained openness to 
that path for the past four years, and has recently committed -- despite 
public pressure in response to assassinations -- to abiding by the 
provisions of the nuclear agreement upon the lifting of sanctions.

                        Iranian elections in June 2021 could create a 
government far less willing to continue cooperation with a U.S. government 
that has abandoned agreements, imposed cruel sanctions, and assassinated 
Iranians. So the Biden administration will need to demonstrate good faith 
rapidly.


                        We need to demonstrate that this is a priority for 
people in the United States and around the world. Click here to add your 
name to a petition to the U.S. President-Elect.

                        Our annual conferences have been fantastic in the 
past. #NoWar2021 may be the best yet. Leading activists and trainers from 
around the world will be making connections between weapons fairs and war 
zones, and focusing our global efforts on a few key projects while preparing 
us to unravel the war machine everywhere it's found.

                        The whole thing will be virtual, with full 
participation possible from anywhere on June 4-6, 2021. Early-bird 
discounted tickets are now available!

                        #NoWar2021 is a unique event that brings together a 
global grassroots coalition of individuals and organizations around the 
topic of CANSEC, the largest weapons show in North America, and related 
topics central to our efforts to end war globally.

                        CANSEC typically brings together 12,000+ government 
and military officials and weapons industry reps from 55 countries in 
Ottawa, Canada. This year, CANSEC looks like it’s going online – and so are 
we!

                        Join us at our online counter conference #NoWar2021 
to put international pressure on CANSEC to end this massive glorification of 
war.

                        CANSEC is a symptom of a larger problem. Instead of 
pouring trillions into weaponry, the world must invest in a just recovery 
from the coronavirus pandemic and a green new deal that includes a just 
transition for arms industry workers. #NoWar2021 will bring together key 
allies to not only assist Canadian efforts to #CancelCANSEC but also to 
share expertise from similar campaigns worldwide in the global struggle for 
war abolition.

                        Panels, discussion groups, workshops, and trainings 
will cover a range of topics, such as: how to shut down a weapons expo, 
weapons in space, the global arms trade, war’s environmental footprint, 
divestment, creative activism, nonviolent civil resistance, and more.
