The U.S. continues to use its overwhelming space resources to both threaten and wage pre-emptive wars while it seeks control of both outer space and earth below. WILPF instead promotes space law and for the fifth year is co-sponsoring Keep Space for Peace Week with Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space nationally and internationally. Last year there were 17 WILPF events – this year we hope every Branch can report an action, whether ambitious or very small.
WILPF DISARM UPDATE has resources for your programs vigils, fliers, classroom presentations, demonstrations at AFB bases or aerospace contractors, contacts with Congressional (and Presidential) candidates, a new WILPF video and more. Read past reports for inspiration. WILPF Branches and members send reports, photos and copies of fliers, etc. to DISARM UPDATE for posting and sharing on our WILPF web sites.
Go to WILPF Reaching Critical Will for materials on space law, the alternative to war in, from and through space. All other nations of the world except the U.S. and Israel support negotiating new treaties on Prevention of an Arms Race in Outer Space (PAROS) and banning weapons in space . Find fact sheets, hand outs, and extensive information on the UN treaty process and U.S. recalcitrance that you can share with your Congressional delegation, candidates, opinion leaders and your own community.
