Imagine an online event with built-in one-on-one and small-group networking, booths for promoting your cause or learning about those of others, self-organized sessions to invite others to . . . in short, all the social interaction and freedom of a real-world conference with none of the airplane food or jet fuel consumption. Now imagine an incredible lineup of speakers and workshop facilitators and online action organizers scheduled to take part. #NoWar2021 is going to be a virtual online conference unlike anything we’ve done before. Early-bird discounted tickets are available now — for you or as gifts for your friends and loved ones.
Volunteer Spotlight: Runa Ray
This month’s volunteer spotlight features Runa Ray from Half Moon Bay, California, who is a member of our new California chapter. Runa says: “As a fashion environmentalist, I realized that there cannot be environmental justice without social justice. Given that war is one of the most expensive disasters to people and the planet, the only way forward is to have a world without war.” Read Runa’s story.
