Join CODEPINK Co-Founder Jodie Evans at One World: Ending Endless War and Creating a Just, Peaceful, Healthy Planet

Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace (ICUJP) began planning a conference, One World: Ending Endless War and Creating a Just, Peaceful, Healthy Planet, several months ago. Little did we know how prophetic that title would become. With the entire world now engulfed in a pandemic, we’re seeing as never before in our lives how interdependent we all are – and how much we need to stand together to fight militarism, racism, poverty, and injustice.

ICUJP has become increasingly alarmed over our country’s march toward increased militarization and endless war. We must act NOW to stop this insane cycle and the horrific toll it exacts on people, societies, and our planet.

To that end, you are warmly invited to join us online for One World on Sunday, June 7. This virtual conference is a time for organizations and communities to join forces, confront the serious challenges facing us, and – most importantly - initiate solutions and actions to bring a peaceful and prosperous world for all.
