WBW News & Action: A Time of Opportunities

Dear Friend,

We seem to be busier than ever with events around the world and online. The list of events — including days and weeks of global actions — in the months ahead suggests we’ll be busier still. And it sure is needed. If you have any questions at all about how to take part and get more active, just ask. And don’t forget to send us a video of your activism right now for inclusion in the 24-Hour Peacewave!

Meanwhile, our finances need to catch up with our actions, and for some reason weapons dealers and governments still aren’t funding us. If you’re able to help, hit “reply” or click here. Thanks for all you do!

—David Swanson, Executive Director, World BEYOND War
