WBW News & Action: Peace on the WHOLE Earth

Dear {{ FirstName | title_case | default: “Friend” }},

The U.S. House of so-called Representatives has narrowly failed to pass a resolution against war on Venezuela. We have plans to prevent this war anyway.

—David Swanson, Executive Director, World BEYOND War

The image above is an example of ads we put up in the subway stations in Washington D.C. three years ago. We’re going to do new ones that add the words “including in Venezuela.” We’re also working to pass local resolutions. We’re going to host a webinar on January 7 (info coming soon) and deliver this petition to the U.S. Congress on January 14 — and hold a global day of actions against war on Venezuela on January 17 (details to come). Can you help us share useful information on Bluesky, Instagram, and Twitter?
