*[Enwl-eng] 41 days until #NoWar2022, our annual global conference

[ENWL]

                              Dear Vladimir,

                              We're 41 days away until #NoWar2022: 
Resistance & Regeneration, World BEYOND War's annual global conference on 
July 8-10! This year's virtual conference will be hosted online through the 
Zoom Events platform. Conference sessions will share inspiring stories of 
change-making—both big and small—around the world, that challenges the 
structural causes of militarism, corrupt capitalism, and climate 
catastrophe, while at the same time, concretely creating an alternative 
system based on a just and sustainable peace.


                              Register for our annual conference!

                              Here's a sneak peek of what we've got lined up 
for #NoWar2022, focused on the unique theme of "resistance & regeneration":


                              Experts Rickey Gard Diamond and Marybeth Riley 
Gardam of the Women's International League for Peace & Freedom and An 
Economy of Our Own will talk about how public banking can keep millions of 
public dollars local every year, invested in the world we want, instead of 
going out of state to Wall Street banks that invest in war, weapons, 
climate-damaging extractive industries, and lobbyists who support 
profiteering.




                              Preemptive Love Coalition’s mission is to end 
war and stop the spread of violence. But what does that actually look like 
on a granular level? What does it take for you, as a citizen of this world, 
to create a snowball effect of love and peacemaking in your local community? 
Join trainers Nick and Saadia for a 1.5 hour interactive workshop where we 
will share what it means to be a peacemaker, learn tips on how to 
communicate with others when you often don’t agree, and to love anyway in 
the context of your own world.



                              This youth-led divestment panel will both 
concretely explore how to divest public and private dollars from extractive 
industries like weapons and fossil fuels, and at the same time, how to 
rebuild the just world we want through doable reinvestment strategies that 
prioritize community needs. Featuring Shea Leibow of CODEPINK, Nadira Foster 
of Divest Ed, and Britt Runeckles of Towards a People’s Endowment, moderated 
by Greta Zarro of World BEYOND War.



                              Jeff Cohen of FAIR.org, Steven Youngblood of 
the Center for Global Peace Journalism, and Dru Oja Jay of The Breach will 
present a workshop on "How to Challenge Mainstream Media Bias & Promote 
Peace Journalism." Modeling the conference theme of “resistance and 
regeneration,” this workshop will begin with a media literacy primer, 
vis-à-vis FAIR.org’s techniques to expose and critique mainstream media 
bias. Then we will lay out a framework for the alternative — principles of 
counternarrative storytelling from a peace journalism perspective. We will 
conclude with a discussion of practical applications of these principles, 
such as through independent media outlets like The Breach, whose mission is 
focused on “journalism for transformation.”

                              This is just a small sampling of what's in 
store for the #NoWar2022 virtual conference on July 8-10. You can view the 
full line-up on the #NoWar2022 conference website here.

                              I am truly inspired by this year's event, 
which will feature speakers and attendees from all over the world. What 
makes #NoWar2022 unique is that we will hear real-world examples that model 
how to resist militarism and at the same time, rebuild the world we want. 
We'll hear from activists, students, journalists, farmers, educators, and 
more who have successfully implemented tangible practices, like nonviolent 
communication, unarmed civilian protection, public banking, peace 
journalism, solidarity cities, and peace education curricula that both 
advance demilitarization while modeling a culture of peace. Get your ticket 
to join us for this powerful event!
