. MOBILIZING FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE AROUND THE WORLD<\/b><\/big><\/em><\/center><\/p>\n
\nLast September we described more than 942 events to mark the International Day of Peace <\/a> that took place in 93 countries. And in March we carried photos of mobilizations for International Women’s Day <\/a> that took place in 68 countries in all regions of the world.<\/p>\n

\nMass mobilizations for peace and justice continued during the past two months.<\/p>\n

\nWorkers took to the streets around the world to celebrate May Day<\/a>, and we carried photos from events in 11 countries of Europe, 10 countries of Asia\/Pacific, 6 countries of Africa and the Middle East and 12 countries of the Americas. In addition to the traditional demands of wage increases and job security amid soaring food and oil prices, many of them demanded action against the Israeli genocide in Gaza, and others protested the new fascist regimes in Italy and Argentina. A transcript of the rally in New York <\/a> with its demands for peace in Gaza has been published by Amy Goodman.<\/p>\n

\nUniversity students occupied their campuses to protest the Israeli genocide. The latest counts of university encampments <\/a> list 17 countries including India, Mexico, Japan, as well as the UK, Australia, France and, of course, the United States where encampments are listed in at least 24 colleges and universities. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Michael Moore <\/a> compares the students’ actions to those that made possible women’s suffrage, trade union rights, civil rights and protests against the American war in Vietnam. The Global Campaign for Peace Education <\/a> published an eloquent description by an encampment participant explaining how they are guided by the UN definition of a culture of peace.<\/p>\n

\nYouth participated in a global strike marking Earth Day <\/a> to demand “climate justice now”. In Sweden,\u00a0Greta Thunberg\u00a0 joined hundreds of other demonstrators for a march in Stockholm; in Kenya, participants demanded that their government join the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty; and in the U.S., youth activists held more than 200 Earth Day protests directed at pressing President Joe Biden to declare a climate emergency. Mobilizations took place around the world, not only in Sweden, US and Kenya, but also in Bangladesh, UK, Ireland and Spain. An interview with Earth Day founder Denis Hayes <\/a> says the young climate activists carry on the spirit of his generation.<\/p>\n

\nMobilizations like this are necessary if our world is to survive the economic and political storms that are gathering on the horizon of history. But they are not enough. As described in this month’s blog<\/a>, they need to be guided by a vision of a new world of peace and justice. Recent bulletins describe voices of reason and hope <\/a> and culture of peace as a vision for the future<\/a>. But will the activists for peace and justice be guided by them?\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
