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!
Global Skills Sharing: 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.

Hibakusha Remembrance Webinar: On Thursday
August 6th at noon Pacific Daylight Time: attend, and invite your friends to
attend, an online presentation by Dr. Mary-Wynne Ashford, Dr. Jonathan Down,
and youth activist Magritte Gordaneer. In the hour-long session, with time
for Q&A, these experts will address the bombings, the public health impact
of nuclear war, the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the state of
international law and other matters to help us all make meaningful the vow:
“Never Again.” RSVP.
U.S. Must Move the Money: Finally Congress is
taking steps to shift resources from militarism to human and environmental
needs. If you're from the U.S. email Congress here.
Canada Must End Sanctions Now! We're working
with our allies to promote a Parliamentary petition to urge the government
of Canada to lift all of Canada's economic sanctions now! If the petition
gets 500 signatures by August 30, MP Scott Duvall will introduce the
petition in the House of Commons and the Canadian government will be obliged
to comment on it. Canadians, please sign and share the parliamentary
petition.
Billboarding Governments: The billboard above
will be up for the month of August a block away from the Democratic Party
National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisc., U.S. Help us decide where to put up
more billboards, and help us pay for them!
