We are in process of creating a BW brochure to use for the Copenhagen Peace Conference and the Guatemalan project, and for the rest of us as we go.
The deadline for text is short, as in ASAP. (we can always reprint later to incorporate additional changes)
The purpose is to attract interest in BW. It will be a tri-fold on 8 1/2 x 11 paper.
We would like to have your suggestions for text.
Also need a short paragraph on the relevancy of BW today.
Please email to leonora@beyondwar.org if you have suggestions/input/ideas.
This is what we are using now so far:
The mission:
Beyond War is a community of people from around the world who are committed to ending the use of warfare in this century.
(or: BW is a community of people from around the world who are committed to ending the use of warfare by building a culture of peace.)
We explore, model and promote the means for humanity to live without war.
We celebrate diversity and embrace our global interdependence.
We understand that conflict is inevitable, but war is not.
The DNA:
Guiding principles:
All is one.
War is obsolete.
The means are the ends in the making.
Personal commitments:
I will resolve conflict. I will not use violence.
I will maintain an attitude of good will. I will not preoccupy myself with an enemy.
I will work together with others to build a world beyond war.
