SUMMARY:PLANET IN PERIL! A NATIONAL ACTIONAR\, online
DESCRIPTION:PLANET IN PERIL! A NATIONAL ACTIONAR \nWeds Sept 4\, 5-6 pm Pacific time\, online \nNo to Nuclear Weapons and No to Fossil Fuels! \nWhy we should be talking about nuclear weapons and fossil fuels – and what you can do about them. \nLearn about the September Days of Action for a nuclear weapons and fossil fuel free world. Expose the companies producing new nuclear weapons and promoting increased production of fossil fuels. \nFind out about the many ways your group can commit to and participate in this international call against producers of nuclear weapons and fossil fuel pollution \nSeptember 2024: Two Weeks to Pressure the Corporations putting Profit ahead of People and Planet:  Continued burning of fossil fuels will make this world uninhabitable within a few decades. A nuclear war would make this world uninhabitable in a few minutes. We must end our addiction to fossil fuels and nuclear weapons before it’s too late. \nThe top 40 companies that profit from fossil fuels and nuclear weapons spend millions on lobbying\, elections and propaganda to maintain their control over Congress and the White House. But these companies – and their investors – also care about their public image and their reputations. Boycotts\, divestment and shaming are very effective tools we can use to pressure the profiteers. It’s been done before and we can do it again! \nKathy Kelly is board president of World Beyond War. She co-coordinates the Merchants of Death War Crimes Tribunal. Since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan\, she has coordinated an international network to assist young Afghans forced to flee their country. She made over two dozen trips to Afghanistan from 2010 – 2019\, living with young Afghan Peace Volunteers in a working-class neighborhood in Kabul. Kathy has been an educator for most of her life\, but she believes children of war and those who are victims of violence have been her most important teachers. \nIra Helfand MD\, is a member of the International Steering Group of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN)\, the recipient of the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize. He is also immediate past president of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW)\, the founding partner of ICAN and itself the recipient of the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize. He is also co-founder and past president of Physicians for Social Responsibility\, IPPNW’s US affiliate. \nInfo https://masspeaceaction.org/event/planet-in-peril-a-national-actionar/ \nRegistration https://secure.everyaction.com/iGJAyy3mtkOuHnrWcH0b9g2
