Subject: Are you making your plans for Armistice Day, Nov. 11?

The antiwar movement worldwide will be heard when people hold events in towns and cities everywhere to mark Armistice / Remembrance day on November 11th. Can you plan a local event? Can we help you do so? Let us know about any event you’re planning. We’ll list it on our events page, and in the calendar on the right side of our website. And we’ll email everyone on our list who lives in your area asking them to attend. We’ll also email your local media outlets if you’d like us to. We are eager to help you hold a World Beyond War event anywhere you are in the world — or to help add to whatever event you have planned. Check out the speakers in our speakers bureau. You may want to invite one or more of them to speak — in person or via live or recorded video. We can make something work! Use the videos and ideas from our online study and action guide: Study War No More! Screen Scarred Lands and Wounded Lives / The Environmental Footprint of War Documentary filmmakers Alice & Lincoln Day have generously offered to waive a Community Screening Licensing fee ($89 savings) through November 11th (Armistice Day) to all World Beyond War members. The waiver allows members to host a public screening for up to 200 people, with permission to charge admission, and raise funds at the events through other avenues. To Request Waiver: Email Margaret Poindexter at mpoindexter5300 [AT] gmail [DOT] com with “Waiver Request” in the subject line. See also: Scarred Lands Film Clips and Scarred Lands Companion Shorts. Numerous successful events have already been held that have screened some of our other recently recorded videos, such as these: Money Video. No War 2017 Videos. No War 2016 Videos. A Soldier’s Life. The End of War (music video). We can also work with you to help prepare you to make a World Beyond War presentation yourself! Are you or would you like to be a public speaker? Contact us for assistance! Speaking about ending war can be quite easy, informative, and entertaining if you use one of these power point or prezi slide presentations: A Mapping War and Peace Prezi. WBW Prezi (Prepare for your event with this Prezi using these resources: the prezi in a PDF and in-depth information to present with the prezi: PDF.) A Global Security System Power Point (Ideal to accompany an event focused on this book, but can also stand on its own.) Is Peace Possible? Power Point by Russ Faure-Brac. (Also in older version of Power Point.) Psychopathy and Propaganda Power Point by Coleen Rowley. (Also in older version of Power Point.) How to do a Penny Poll that lets people determine what they’d like the public budget to look like. A PDF presentation on nuclear weapons thanks to Evan Knappenberger. How to make peace dolls. How an event can build a movement:Use flyers, sign-up cards, sign-up sheets. You can let every person at your event sign the peace pledge and indicate how they’d like to be involved. You can use your sign-up sheets to build your local email list and to build World Beyond War’s — Just type the info in on the peace pledge page or into a spread sheet that you email to WBW, or photograph the sheets and email us that, or mail hardcopies to World Beyond War, PO Box 1484, Charlottesville VA 22902, USA. How an event can raise funds for your local group and/or World Beyond War: Wear sky blue scarves and bracelets. Contact WBW here about getting a supply of scarves and/or buttons and/or books to use for raising funds for WBW. And collect donations. You can also buy a supply of shirts, stickers, cups, etc. and resell them at cost or for profit. More cool shirts and sweatshirts here. Here’s a sign you can modify and use that offers people buttons, scarves, and books for various levels of donations. Here’s a form for keeping track of people who need to have free books mailed to them by WBW. Here are receipts for people who make donations to WBW and request a receipt.
