Global Day of Education to #CloseBases

Many would be shocked by the extent and the variety of the damage done by military bases, both foreign and domestic — damage done to international relations, the natural environment, the rule of law, democratic hopes, societies, cultures, and public resources. World Beyond War hopes to help individuals create a local, real-world event on October 4, in solidarity with people all over the world. The organization has prepared presentations that can be modified and used, speakers that can be invited, videos that can be shown, and activities that can be tried.

This day of education builds on the global days of activism and media held earlier this year.

Individuals are invited to join one or both of two planning Zoom calls, where various experts will help with event planning. The calls are scheduled for 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on September 4 (note: the 10 p.m. call falls on September 5 in certain regions of the world).
