Membership Survey: We need your advice. Which
of our projects do you find valuable? What should we be doing? How good are
our arguments for ending war? How can we grow? What should be in a World
BEYOND War mobile app? What should be on our website? We've created an
online survey to allow you to very quickly answer our questions and guide us
in a good direction. This is not a gimmick or a fundraiser. We plan to study
the results very carefully and act on them. Please take a couple of minutes
or more and give us your best input. Thanks for all you do!
June 27: Virtual Chapter Open House: Join
World BEYOND War on Saturday, June 27 at 4:30pm ET (GMT-4) for a "virtual
chapter open house" to meet our chapter coordinators from around the world!
First, we'll hear from World BEYOND War's Executive Director David Swanson
and Organizing Director Greta Zarro about WBW's mission and campaigns, and
how to build the peace movement within the context of the current issues
we're facing, from the coronavirus pandemic, to systemic racism, to ongoing
climate change. Then we'll divide up into breakout rooms by region, each
moderated by a World BEYOND War chapter coordinator. In our breakouts, we'll
hear what chapters are working on, discuss our interests, and brainstorm how
we can collaborate with other WBW members in our respective regions.

Are you an artist, musician, chef, or
world-renowned bridge player — or just someone who likes to paint, strum a
guitar, cook family recipes, or play cards — and willing to donate your
time? World BEYOND War is holding a Global Skills Exchange and is looking
for your skills to help amplify our work and bring an end to war. We're not
asking you to donate money. We're asking you to donate your time with a
skill lesson, performance, coaching session, or other online service via
video. Then someone else will donate to World BEYOND War in order to enjoy
what you're offering. Learn more here.
