World
BEYOND War is Growing! In the past month,
we're excited to announce that 4 new WBW chapters
have launched: India, Afghanistan, Bioregión
Aconcagua (Chile), and Montréal! Chapters carry
out WBW's mission of war abolition in their
communities, through organizing events and
campaigns to advance peace & justice. This
week, Montréal for a World BEYOND War gathered for
their first action on Remembrance/Armistice Day.
Read about their
efforts to promote peace and to challenge the
glamorization of
war. |
Divest
Chicago from the War Machine Campaign:
This week, World BEYOND War, along with allies at
CODEPINK, met with the Offices of Alderwomen King,
Rodriguez-Sanchez, and Hadden to ask for their
support in our campaign to divest the City of
Chicago from weapons manufacturers and military
contractors. The campaign, which has been endorsed
by the Chicago Anti-War Coalition and Chicago Area
Peace Action among other groups, is building
momentum towards introducing a city council
resolution to direct the City's pension funds to
divest. We have already received verbal support
from half a dozen aldermen (city council members)
for this initiative. Stay tuned for
details! |
