Keep Space for Peace Week - October 3-10
Published on September, 34 2015
Carol Urner, Disarm/ End Wars Issue Committee
Women (and men), stop wars from ravaging the earth and destroying life. Stop the United States from continuing as the world's leading aggressor nation. Join WILPF and Global Network in a week of action on keeping space for peace, not war. Report planned actions here in the form below the poster.
Download the black and white small poster for leafleting here.
Cyber-warfare is the theme of KS4P in 2015. Download and contemplate WILPF's Resolution on preservation of the Internet as a peaceful commons safe for all. That Resolution passed at our WILPF Congress in 2014. We need help from internet savvy members to keep this new commitment for ending war from space.
For more space issue options explore Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space for petitions to sign, videos and graphics plus information and non-violent action tools on drones, cyber-warfare, missile defense, military bases and more.
Or vigil and seek dialogue with merchants of death in your own area profiting from space militarization and nuclear weapons.
Explore Reaching Critical Will for the Dirty Dozen or for longer lists of aerospace industries preparing for war in space.
And use this time to more fully inform yourself on treaties, proposed treaties and critical issues on space being considered in the United Nations. Read the crucially important draft introduced by Russia in 2014 for prevention of weapons in space. The United States has already rejected further consideration of this latest draft treaty. However Russia and China replied they still welcome a response from the US and invited concrete proposals for revision. Can we campaign for the US State department to engage with all other nations in exploratory consideration of this draft treaty?
Isn't it past time to stop identifying other nations as enemies? Isn't it time for all nations to work on problem solving together and build the peaceful world we need and want before it is too late?
