*[Enwl-eng] WBW News & Action: Events for Peace

[ENWL]

                              Online version with language translation.







                              Here is our new guide to using billboards to 
generate media, membership, and activism. The billboard pictured above in 
Milwaukee, where it generated a lot of media and events, will be going up 
this week in St. Louis. Our new idea is, now that 50 nations have ratified 
the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, to put up billboards in 
Europe asking the United States to get its illegal weapons out of the 
continent. We're looking for more ideas and more funding. Help out here.




                              Free Webinar: What About World War II? This 
free webinar, open to all, will feature David Swanson, Executive Director of 
World BEYOND War, discussing the “What about WWII?” question so popular 
among supporters of military spending, and the history of Armistice Day. 
Organized by: Peace Action of Broome County, NY and Stu Naismith Chapter 90 
Veterans for Peace of Broome County, NY, U.S. Participants will be able to 
ask questions via chat and by clicking the “raise hand” button for a turn to 
speak. All perspectives are welcomed and encouraged. Register here.





                              Armistice / Remembrance Day #103 is November 
11, 2020 — 102 years since World War I was ended at a scheduled moment (11 o’clock 
on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918 — killing an extra 11,000 people 
after the decision to end the war had been reached early in the morning). 
Find, list, or create an event.





                              Stop the killing. There is no equivalence of 
blame or anything else here. Read this article and watch this video.

                              But the surest way for the world to stop the 
killing is to embargo all weapons to both sides. Sign the petition, share it 
with others who can also sign and share it. We can deliver it to governments 
around the world.





                              Our latest campaign to ban militarized 
policing is with a coalition of groups in Portland, Orgeon. Work with us to 
make this happen where you are.
