Munayamba bwanji nawo World BEYOND War (WBW)?
Ndine mphunzitsi wopuma pantchito. Nditapuma pantchito ndinakweza ndalama zothandizira ziweto komanso ntchito za nzika zapamwamba - ntchito yabwino. Komabe, mzaka zonsezi, ndimapitilizabe kudandaula kuti zikakhala bwanji kupeza ndalama pazinthu zomwe zimachokera mumtima mwanga. Mu Januware 2020 ndidapita ku Rotary International Peace and Social Justice Conference ndipo ndidamvera a David Swanson akuyankhula ndi gululi momwe zingathere kuthetsa nkhondo. Sindikukayikira mpaka pomwe adatikumbutsa zazing'onozing'ono: tidathetsa poliyo ndi matenda ena owopsa. Tinathetsa ukapolo. Tidamaliza kukondana. Pazifukwa zina, ndemanga zosavuta izi zidapangitsa kusintha kwanga m'malingaliro mwanga. Mwinamwake chinali chabe nkhani yokonzekera. Komabe, izi zitha kukhala chifukwa chochokera mumtima mwanga.

Kumayambiriro kwa chaka chino zonse zikapita ku Zoom, ndidawunikiranso webusaiti ndipo adapezekapo zochitika yomwe inafotokozera zina mwazikuluzikulu za World BEYOND WarMbiri ndi utsogoleri. Izi zidandipangitsa kulingalira zoyamba mutu mderalo, Coachella Valley yaku Southern California. Nthawi yomweyo ndidakumana Darienne Hetherman, yemwe amaganiza zoyamba mutu mu Chigwa cha San Gabriel, pafupifupi ma 100 mamailosi. Chifukwa cha Zoom ndi foni, tidakumana ndikupanga chisankho kuyamba mutu ku State of California yonse. Izi ndizofuna kutchuka. Ndinatenga maphunziro ofunikira ndikuyamba kuwerenga zida zothandizira gulu lamtendere. Zoom ikadali njira yathu yayikulu yolumikizirana (kuyambira Seputembara 2020). Ndimadabwa pozindikira kuti ine ndi amene ndinayambitsa nawo ntchito Dari sitinakumanepo nawo pamasom'pamaso.

Kodi ndi ntchito zotani zomwe mukuthandizira?
Wogwirizira wanga Dari ndi ine tayesetsa mwakhama kuti tisonkhanitse gulu laling'ono la anthu kuti tikambirane malingaliro athu pankhani yolimbikitsa anthu. Timakonza ndikukonzekera misonkhano, timakambirana ndi mamembala am'mutu za madera omwe amakonda, timapanga mwayi woti anthu atenge nawo mbali, ndikufufuza zomwe zingachitike mtsogolo. Izi zadzetsa chimango chamaphunziro athu. Monga gulu tikuyembekeza:
• Dziwitseni tokha za nkhondo ndi mtendere kudzera pagulu lowerenga lomwe limakumana mwezi uliwonse
• Limbikitsani Bajeti Yamtendere yaku California
• Fufuzani ndikuchirikiza malamulo a Congresswoman Barbara Lee ochepetsa ndalama zankhondo ku United States ndi $ 350 biliyoni

Ndikuyembekeza kugwira ntchito ndi anthu pazinthu zina zomwe angachite kuti athandizire zomwezo. Kwa ine ndekha, ndilankhula m'magulu am'magulu ndi ampingo ku Southern California konse pankhani yankhondo ndi mtendere. Ndili ndi chiitano changa choyamba cholankhula ku Rotary Club. Mpingo wathu wa Unitarian ndiwofunitsitsa kundilandila. Ndikuyembekezeranso kulemba ndikupereka ma op-eds ndi makalata kwa mkonzi.

Lingaliro langa ndikuti gulu la anthu liyenera kutsogozedwa ndi mfundo zomwe zimakhala ngati maziko a ntchitoyo. Zotsatira zake, ndinafotokozera masomphenya ndi malingaliro amishoni pamodzi ndi mfundo zingapo za 12 zowongolera gululi. Wothandizira wanga Dari tsopano akuganizira zikalata zoyambira pakadali pano.

Kodi malingaliro anu apamwamba kwa wina amene akufuna kuti alowe nawo ndi WBW ndi chiyani?
Nazi malingaliro:
• Khalani achidwi pamachitidwe omwe angadzetse mtendere wanu;
• Fotokozerani zomwe mukufuna kuchita ndi zomwe simukufuna kuchita;
• Uzani aliyense amene mukudziwa zomwe mukuchita kuti pakhale bata ndi chilungamo.

Nchiyani chimakupangitsani inu kuti muzilimbikitsira kuti mulimbikitse kusintha?
United States ikugwa. Tikukumana ndi mavuto akulu m'misewu yathu, mliri wakupha womwe sukuyendetsedwa bwino, komanso kuwonongeka kwachuma komwe kumakhudza kwambiri osauka komanso anthu amtundu. Zotsatira zake, ndiri wouziridwa komanso wolimbikitsidwa. Nthawi yomweyo ndimakwiya. Tili ndi mfuti zambiri zomwe anthu amagwiritsa ntchito omwe amaganiza kuti nkoyenera kudzipangira okha malamulo. Kulephera kwakukulu kwachuma kukusokoneza anthu. Tsankho lamachitidwe limatipha. Tigwiritsanso ntchito chuma chomwe tili nacho pa makina ankhondo omwe satipulumutsa. Anthu adyera amapeza chuma chambiri chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwa momwe amawonongera ndalama zankhondo. Pakadali pano, utsogoleri wapadziko lonse lapansi ukupitilira mwachizolowezi. Monga ndidanenera - wolimbikitsidwa, wolimbikitsidwa, wokwiya.

Kodi mliri wa coronavirus wakukhudzani bwanji?
Choyamba, ndimakonda Zoom. Ikuwonjezera kuthekera kwa mutu womwe umafotokoza ku California konse, dziko lalikulu lomwe lili ndi mwayi wambiri. Zoom inanditsegulira njira yoti ndikomane ndikudziwana ndi mnzake yemwe anayambitsa Dari mosavuta. Komanso Zoom imatithandiza kuyitanitsa wina kuchokera kwa ogwira ntchito a Congresswoman Barbara Lee kuti adzayankhule ndi gulu lathu. Izi zikakwaniritsidwa, tiziyitanitsa anthu ochokera m'magulu ena kuti tigwiritse ntchito kuti tiwonetsetse zomwe Lee akuchita, kudzera mu Zoom.

Chachiwiri, mliriwu wafotokozera chowonadi china chowopsa, kufa kwanga. Ngati ndingakhudze dziko lapansi m'njira zabwino, ziyenera kukhala pano. Nthawi ndi yochepa. Tiyenera kupita patsogolo mwachangu. Lankhulani momveka bwino ndikukakamiza. Pitani patsogolo. Funsani kusintha.
