Izishoshovu zingakudonsela kanjani ukunaka enkingeni embi wonke umuntu aseyazi ngayo, inkinga esiyijwayele esicishe sibe ndikindiki kuyo? Ukwanda kwezikhali zenuzi yilolu hlobo lwenkinga, yingakho inqwaba yamaqembu ahlanganisa i-Basel Peace Office, International Peace Bureau, World Future Council kanye AmaPhalamende weNuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament basebenza ndawonye Hambisa Imali Yezikhali Zenuzi, iphrojekthi yamazwe ngamazwe esekelwe ukuthandwa kuka-Roger Waters we-Pink Floyd kanye no-Ben Cohen we-Ben & Jerry's.
Ngisanda kuzwa ngale nhlangano ku-Alyn Ware, umxhumanisi womhlaba wonke Wamalungu ePhalamende We-Nuclear Nonproliferation and Disarmament, owayeze eNew York City evela eNew Zealand engqungqutheleni yeZizwe Ezihlangene mayelana neNuclear Weapons.

Ukusiza ekuboneni ngeso lengqondo ubukhulu balobu buwula, i-Count The Nuclear Weapons Money izobe ihlangana ndawonye ukuze ibale ngempela leli nani lemali - ngamanothi ayizigidi ezidizayinelwe amaciko, ngenani lamadola ayizigidi ezingu-100 umzuzu ngamunye.
Ngaleli zinga, kuzothatha izinsuku eziyi-7 nobusuku obuyisi-7 ukubala isigidintathu samadola. Ukubalwa kuzokwenziwa eNew York City ngamaqembu amavolontiya, izishoshovu, osopolitiki, izikhulu ze-UN, ababaleki nabanye ngosuku luka-2019 olusazonqunywa (usuku oluhleliwe luka-Okthoba lusanda kulibaziseka) futhi lusakazwa bukhoma. Ulwazi kanye nefomu lokubhalisa labahlanganyeli kungatholakala ku- Bala Imali Iwebhusayithi.
A ikhonsathi yokuhlomula kulo mcimbi uzoba kulo Mgqibelo, Okthoba 20, 2018 e-Turtle Bay Music School ngu-Duo DiMeo, i-piano duo yaseNew York City. Bazobe benza imisebenzi kaDave Brubeck, Manuel de Falla, John Lennon nabanye. Ngibuze umdlali wopiyano u-Racquel Borromeo we-Duo DiMeo mayelana nogqozi lwakhe ekusekeleni i-Count The Nuclear Weapons Money ngalo mcimbi wenzuzo.
“Kuwukuzibophezela kwethu ukuqhubekisela phambili isithunzi somuntu nokuthula sisebenzisa ezobuciko,” kusho uRacquel. "Ukuhlanganisa abantu (ukudala umphakathi) ukuze bafunde ngalezi zimbangela futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo, ukwabelana nokujabulela izinto ezinhle zokuphila (umculo, kulokhu) kusihlwa."
I-Duo DiMeo isivele yenze amakhonsathi okuhlomula ngenxa yalesi sizathu kanye nakwabanye, okuhlanganisa nokusekelwa kwemiphakathi ye-LGBTQ, futhi ijwayele inselele yokusebenzisa umculo ukuze iqwashise: “Umculo wekhonsathi awuhambisani ngempela nembangela. Njengoba simelela isihloko senuzi, besingafuni ukuthi ikhonsathi yonke ibe sengathi ukuphela komhlaba.”
Umbuzo waphakade wokuthi ubuciko bungayisekela kanjani injongo yezepolitiki uyavela lapho i-Duo DiMeo ihlela umcimbi. “Abanye baye babuza ukuthi kungani lesi sizathu kwezinye izigidi ezikhona,” kusho uRacquel kimi. Uthole lo mbuzo ukhathaza ikakhulukazi lapho ebhikisha ngezikhali zenuzi, ngezinye izikhathi okubonakala "njengembangela elahlekile". Kulabo abaphakamisa lokho kuphikisa, uRacquel unempendulo elungile.
“Zisizani zonke ezinye izimbangela uma thina ngokwethu silahlile lo mhlaba wokuphila noma amazwe? Uma singahambisa ingxenye yemali yenuzi emizamweni yokusiza abantu, yezenhlalo, yezomnotho, kuzoba noxhaso oluningi lokusiza ezinye izimbangela. "
Ngempela, noma ubani ohlela imicimbi yomphakathi noma imisebenzi yobuciko ngezizathu ezinhle ujwayelene nenkinga yokukhathala nokutholakala okukhulu. Iviki eliqinile lokubala imali ukuze kwenziwe idrama yesilinganiso sokumosheka kwezigidigidi zamadola ngokuqinisekile kuzozizwa kukhandla kubahlanganyeli. Kodwa siyayinqoba imizwa yokungabi nalutho ngokuhlangana ndawonye, sihlanganyele emazwini ethu okuphikisa nokucasuka, futhi sikhuthazane ukuba singalokothi siphele amandla. Ukuze uthole okwengeziwe mayelana nekhonsathi yangomhla zingama-20 kuMfumfu kanye nomcimbi womphakathi ngo-2019, sicela uvakashele izixhumanisi ezilandelayo:
