SUMMARY:World Conference 2020 – Moving Online
DESCRIPTION:Online World Conference – Abolish Nuclear Weapons; Resist and Reverse the Climate Crisis; For Social and Economic Justice\nApril 25, 2020 – 9-11 a.m. EDT, 3-5 p.m. Central Europe\nRegister here to join the event: bit.ly/abolishnuclear\nAn Online World Conference: Abolish Nuclear Weapons; Resist and Reverse the Climate Crisis; For Social and Economic Justice will be April 25, 2020 in place of the in-person conference that has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.\nIn the context of the suffering and changes being wrought by the pandemic, the two- hour world conference will focus on the continuing urgent need to abolish nuclear weapons and its relationship to stanching the climate emergency and challenging injustices which have left so many people marginalized and vulnerable. Additional sessions of the World Conference and four workshops will be for a healthier time in the future.\nTo accommodate people across the world the conference will be held at 9 a.m. New York/Boston time (3 p.m. in Europe, 10 p.m. in East Asia) with simultaneous interpretation to Japanese. The conference will be held in concentric circles with up to 500 people in the conference itself and simultaneous live streaming so everyone can join in by listening in. The conference will also be recorded and posted and made available on the world conference2020.org and co-sponsors sites for continuing availability.\nConference organizers understand the urgent priority of caring for those who are sick and most in need and are doing what they can in this regard. We are also deeply aware that once this plague has passed, the twin existential threats of nuclear war and the climate catastrophe and the need to address social and economic injustice will be, if anything, greater that before. We are therefore moving to reinforce our movements for the longer-term with this online conference.\nConfirmed speakers include: Wada Masako of Japan Confederation of A- & H- Bomb Sufferers Organizations, Dr. Carlos Umaña of IPPNW, Hiroshi Takakusaki of Gensuikyo, Joseph Gerson of AFSC and the Campaign for Peace Disarmament and Common Security, Reiner Braun of the International Peace Bureau, Emad Kiyaei from the Interdisciplinary Global Development Group (Iran), Rev. Lis Theoharis of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, Sharon Burrows of the ITUC, with additional speakers soon to be confirmed.\nInitiating organization include: American Friends Service Committee, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (UK), Campaign for Peace, Disarmament and Common Security, Gensuikin (Japan Congress against A- & H- Bombs,) Gensuikyo (Japan Council against A- & H- Bombs), IPB – International Peace Bureau International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War Canada, Nihon Hidankyo (Japan Confederation of A- & H- Bomb Sufferers’ Organizations), Peace Action, Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung – New York Office, and Western States Legal Foundation. A complete list of co-sponsors can be found at worldconference2020.org.\nFor more information see worldconference2020.org.\n
