In this campaign+ Peace + Nonviolence - Nuclear Weapons” is about taking advantage of the days between the International Day of Peace and the Day of Nonviolence to generate actions, add activists and endorsements.
The format of the campaign will be non-face-to-face activities, carried out on social networks (Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, Youtube, Telegram, e-Mail, Tik-Tok).
The idea is to involve not only members of World Without Wars or the World March, but also other organizations.
The duration of the campaign will be from September 18 to October 4. 17 days of activities.
It is proposed that all activities begin or end with 1 minute of silence or a short ceremony by Julio Pineda, an activist from Mundo sin Guerras y sin Violencia from Honduras who was tortured and killed in early September.
Coordination meetings on ZOOM: WWW members from 16 countries participated: Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, Spain, France, Guatemala, Honduras, Italy, Morocco, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Nigeria and Suriname.
