Three gests to celebrate peace
Dear friends,
The 21st of September is the international day of Peace.
We offer you three simple gests to celebrate it energetically, as it should be!
Three gests that show that being heard, pooling resources and sharing hopes is building peace.
|
| Being heard |
|
 The petition carried out by the campaign "Disarmament to combat poverty" enables you to confront directly the five permanent members of the UN security council, which are also five important economic and military powers, and ask them to spend less money on weapons to put it into solidarity.
This mean of expression is not reserved to websurfers. In villages in the south of India, the same petition is going around, printed in several local languages.
Building peace also means giving a chance to all residents of this planet, whether or not they have internet access, to be heard.
|
| Pooling resources |
 The common fund of the campaign brings together all men and women around the world who wish to combine small civic investments to influence the use of public spending, money which belongs to all of us.
It is, of course, an essential financial tool for creating connections between people, to develop training programs and the systems of communication which will enable initiatives in order to disarm to combat poverty.
Mixing the Euro, the Rupee, the Peso and Dollar, the common fund is also an incredible machine for building peace through the globalization of the solidarities.
|
| Sharing hopes |
 The campaign information letter highlights individual and common initiatives which support and pass along the idea that it is possible and desirable to disarm to combat poverty.
By spreading this letter in your entourage, you give access to your friends and colleagues new and different information which is not spread by the big medias.
You make circulate concrete ideas of actions, that everybody can do, in order to fight injustices and despair that generate so much violence.
Discretely but surely, you are building peace by nourishing hope.
