Armistice / Remembrance Day #103 is November 11, 2020 — 102 years since World War I was ended at a scheduled moment (11 o’clock on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918 — killing an extra 11,000 people after the decision to end the war had been reached early in the morning). Find, list, or create an event.
Stop the killing. There is no equivalence of blame or anything else here. Read this article and watch this video.

The Billboard pictured above in Milwaukee, where it generated a lot of media and events, will be going up in November in St. Louis, thanks to a generous donation. Our new idea is, when 50 nations have ratified the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, to put up billboards in Europe asking the United States to get its illegal weapons out of the continent. We’re looking for more ideas and more funding. Help out here.
