Last weekend was the NoWar2016 conference in DC. I got this follow-up email this morning (many embedded links didn't copy - follow the wbw-dot-org link in the quote and look for links there):

Wow! We've never had such overwhelmingly positive feedback on anything. People loved the #NoWar2016 conference!

You can now plan your own event using the videos, or just watch the videos yourself for free at home here:
http://worldbeyondwar.org/NoWar2016

We'll be producing a highlight video too.

We owe a huge thank you to American University School of International Service, Jeff Bachman, Barbara Wien, Karen Ives, Brienne Kordis, and all of our volunteers organized by Pat Elder, and all of our speakers, MCs, workshop leaders and participants for pulling this event off, plus a lot of gratitude to all of our partners and cosponsors listed on the website and below!

We've been flooded with new interest and support because of this exposure.

The tough part is that we're also being looked to now to lead the way and follow through on what we've started. We're looking into launching a campaign for divestment from war industries, as well as campaigns based on the topics of the seven workshops held this past Sunday: closing foreign bases, adding U.S. to ICC, countering recruitment, banning nukes, freeing Palestine, creating friendship with Russia, and developing the work of A Global Security System: An Alternative to War.

Participants in the sold-out conference received a free copy of the new edition of that book. It lays out all of our thinking on how to replace war with nonviolent conflict resolution. It makes a terrific text book, already being used at American University. You can buy it in bulk here and we will send you the new edition. Just get 10 or more and share them or sell them at a local event. Or get a single copy from your local bookstore or Amazon.com.

World Beyond War began as a volunteer operation. It is still mostly volunteer. Our whole coordinating committee, advisory board, and all of our country coordinators around the world are volunteer. Our director is our sole part-time employee.

If we are going to take on the work that needs to be done, we're going to need to hire a full-time organizer. We're going to need to raise $50,000. Can you get us started by donating a little or a lot on our donate page?

Thank you for everything you're doing to end war!

There may be a vote in the U.S. Congress tomorrow to override President Obama's veto of the unanimously passed bill that would allow family members of 911 victims to sue Saudi Arabia. If you think war victims around the world suing war-making governments is preferable to responses of more terrorism and war, phone the U.S. Congress, both houses, and tell them to override the veto!
