World BEYOND War Meetup
Start: Friday, November 16, 2018• 7:00 PM
End: Friday, November 16, 2018• 9:00 PM
You're invited to a meetup with us at The Peace House in Portland on
November 16. We'll talk about our work building a grassroots, global
network advocating for war abolition, and how to get involved locally by
starting a World BEYOND War chapter in Oregon.
We'll brainstorm ideas for local, statewide, and national campaigns and
actions, with particular focus on countering military recruitment in the
schools, weapons divestment, and reforming the draft to allow
registration as a conscientious objector.
Our mission - to abolish the very institution of war - is a lofty goal,
and will necessitate the activation of communities of people from all
walks of life across the globe. Our unique approach provides the
resources and tools to dismantle the myths about war's inevitability. In
fact, the war machine makes us less safe, erodes our liberties, and is a
corporate boondoggle, wasting taxpayer dollars that are badly needed
for human and environmental needs.
Join us on November 16 to discuss mobilizing locally in Oregon for a World BEYOND War.
