UFPJ Call to Action: All Out for Peace and Planet!




Dear UJP Activist,
Buzz is building about the April 24 - 26 Peace & Planet Mobilization for a Nuclear-free, Peaceful Just and Sustainable World, taking place in New York City and around the world!
With the Mobilization taking place on the eve of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference, our goals are two-fold:
  1. to demand immediate negotiations for the total elimination of nuclear weapons, and,
  2. to use this Mobilization to strengthen and connect our movements.
If you’re coming to New York, there’s still time to register for the April 24-25 international conference with its spectacular line up of plenary speakers and 44 workshops. On Sunday April 26, join the Interfaith Convocation, and then hit the streets for a mass rally, march and festival, and launch of the “Global Wave”. Look for the UFPJ banner!
And if you can, please sign up to volunteer!
If you can’t come to New York there are several ways you can participate:
  1. Add your group’s name to the growing list of more than 300 endorsing organizations.
  2. Sign and circulate the Peace & Planet petition.
    Your signatures will be added to more than 7 million signatures from Japan that will be presented to United Nations and NPT officials during the April 26 peace festival.
  3. Wave goodbye to nuclear weapons wherever you are! The “Global Wave” will be launched at the April 26 rally in New York, with participants symbolically waving goodbye to nuclear weapons. The Global Wave will travel west, by time zone, with public events scheduled in Papeete, Manila, Amman, Bethlehem, Stockholm, Paris, London, Sao Paulo and points in-between, arriving back at the UN for the opening of the NPT Review Conference on April 27.
  4. Like Peace & Planet on Facebook, and follow Peace & Planet on Twitter.
ALL OUT FOR PEACE & PLANET!
We look forward to seeing you there,
Jackie Cabasso,
Co-convener of UFPJ
