Peace & Planet Mobilization

From April 27 – May 22, 2015 representatives of the 189 members of the NPT, including the original nuclear-armed States (the U.S., Russia, the U.K, France, and China) will come together at the United Nations in New York City to review the Treaty’s operation. It is long past time for the world’s governments to implement the global obligation to achieve a nuclear-weapon-free world.

 

In a demonstration of their determination to build a fair, democratic, ecologically sustainable, and peaceful future, people will gather in New York City and around the world for international days of action April 24 – 26, 2015.

 

EarthAction is a Partner in this global Mobilization. To build awareness of nuclear weapons and the interrelated issues of militarism, climate change, and social and economic injustice, we have played an active role in developing the 'Fact Countdown'' part of this campaign.  Each day, PeaceAndPlanet.org will release one fact about nuclear weapons and related issues. We invite you to check out PeaceAndPlanet.org, sign up to receive each Fact and then share it through social media with your members, friends, media and policymakers. 

 

While at PeaceAndPlanet.org, you can also sign a petition and learn more ways to be part of this mobilization.

Lois Barber featuring in “The What Now Interviews”

 Lois Barber, the executive director of EarthAction, has been featured in the “The What Now Interviews,” a podcast by Ken Rose. Featuring scholars, writers, artists, and teachers with expertise ranging from climate change to ethical global markets, this podcast seeks to inform listeners about issues pertaining to the “global life crisis.” 

 

 

 

From Amherst Media:

According to Ken, the focus of each show is to “serve [and facilitate discussion about] the work of the guests.” Each podcast episode features a different scholar, thinker, writer, or artist and provides a space for them to share their knowledge and work. “…[I want to] flood the world with the cream of human intelligence and we can do that,” says Ken.

The emphasis of the show is to help listeners broaden their understanding of global issues impacting their lives and the lives of others in order to effect meaningful change for the future. “…I think it’s a good idea if we all start to turn our attention to the [people] in this world who are actually doing the hard work of studying our problems…and trying to see what we can do or how we can change that would be win-win-win all over the place.” To hear previous podcast episodes and learn more about Ken’s work, visit whatnowsolutions.org.
