a WORLD-WIDE UNITY CAMPAIGN To: All the WOMEN’S ORGANIZATIONS of the WORLD:
A CATALYST for PEACE is here! An amazing opportunity is at hand. All the social movements are searching for a CATALYST to unify, become as large as possible, and create a tipping point. The following hypothesis will show that the catalyst is WOMEN, illustrating NONVIOLENCE to Stop War, For the CHILDREN! The objective is unity to create political change. Therefore, an initiative is planned called a CALL to WOMEN, a WORLD-WIDE UNITY CAMPAIGN. This is a request for all women’s organizations to unify and create a global “People Movement.” The key element is for non-governmental, WOMEN leaders to "Reach into Every Household," in a Gandhi / King-like movement and empower WOMEN to be the PEACEMAKERS. Men are included. A full plan has been developed, as a guideline, to be molded and shaped by women leaders. The world is waiting for something to happen. Will it be war, or a “proactive” movement of NONVIOLENCE to stop war? By working to stop war, women will affect their own issues and all the other social issues. Nobel Peace Laureate Shirin Ebadi wrote, "Without peace all other rights are jeopardized. All of our efforts should be focused on stopping war." Ebadi's website stated her goal: “A peace, which covers all children of the world.” WOMEN around the world have been gathering and developing strategies to implement their own ideas and methods to change the world. There are an incredible amount of initiatives that have already begun. The evidence is overwhelming (See examples below). The key is unifying. Are these entities, by themselves, enough to create a tipping point? Is Ebadi correct – peace is first? Why is this request for unity being made now? There is a DOOR OPEN! President Obama reached out with the OLIVE BRANCH. Now it is time for the people to unify and also reach out with the OLIVE BRANCH. Obama cannot create change alone. The political obstacles for change are enormous. Women and nonviolence are the David against the Goliath of the corporate, military, economic thinking, and mindset of the people of the world. Most people would agree that socialization is the main agent for change, but what happens when the opportunity to be proactive presents itself? Is there action or is it a missed opportunity? Women leaders are needed to set the plan in motion! The initiative must be global and idealistic to go beyond vexing historical disputes. A CALL to WOMEN promotes compassion, forgiveness, kindness, generosity, and helping others. The idealism is transposed into pragmatism -- change military spending to humanitarian spending. Dedication and faith are required. There will be sacrifice and risk. However, change, in itself, is an agent of division. The early followers of Jesus, splitting from the Jews and confronting the Romans was contentious. Why then did Christianity take hold? Was it because of the fact the people were dedicated to helping others and would not kill others (nonviolence)? The key is nonviolence. The overall plan is called a Global Strategy of Nonviolence, For the Children (GSofNV). The children must see an effort to create world-wide unity! A three year, three step plan is designed as an "ILLUSTRATION" to capture the world's and the media's attention! The people in every country will be asked to influence their own governments via a unified initiative. The initiative, a Call to Women is designed to be exciting and inspirational! The intricacies are complex, but there is a simplicity in setting the plan in motion. The seeds have been planted. Many WOMEN leaders around the world are aware of the plan – for example: Margarita Papandreou, Sister Joan Chittister, Helen Caldicott, Cora Weiss, Jehan Sadat, Gila Svirsky, Jean Shinoda Bolen, and Ela Gandhi. Everyone is busy doing wonderful work. Each organization, understandably, has its own agenda. Kathe Schaaf, founder of Gather the Women, learned that it is very difficult to unify women’s organizations. This is why the main idealistic goal of working “For the Children” is important. The purpose is to build bridges and transcend boundaries. Women leaders can make this happen! I predict there will be war in the future. There will be an incident that stirs anger in people and will be the guiding force in violent conflict resolution. A Call to Women is not a cure-all and will not solve the immediate problems. However, when an incident does occur, there will be no way to influence politics. The people must prepare for, practice, and teach (PP&T) nonviolence in advance! While Obama is in office, something must create a people movement. Women are the CATALYST. In conclusion, if women unite and embrace nonviolence to stop war, they can change the world. UN Secretary-General, Kofi Annan wrote, “Women, who know the price of conflict so well, are also often better equipped than men to prevent or resolve it. For generations, women have served as peace educators, both in their families and in their societies. They have proved instrumental in building bridges rather than walls. They have been crucial in preserving social order when communities have collapsed.” A “Call to Women” does not exclude men. Men should be courting women to prevent war, if they truly believe they don’t want war. This is the test, for men and women. People can work together. People must show each other that they are not enemies. Martin Luther King stated, in the Riverside Church speech, “Beyond Vietnam”, April 4th, 1967, “Every nation must now develop an overriding loyalty to mankind as a whole in order to preserve the best in their individual societies.” A “Call to Women” will be the “largest, nonviolent” movement the world has ever seen! The strategy states: We come in peace, we offer the olive branch, we are not a threat, we are not enemies, we are all part of the family of the human race, we have common bonds, we apologize for our misdeeds, we forgive your misdeeds, we need to heal the wounds, we need to start a GLOBAL ACTION to “break down borders.” The theories, supportive information, and plans are available for review. A complete financial forecast is prepared. Funding of a non-profit foundation will be used to create a PHILANTHROPIC organization and facilitate a "PEOPLE MOVEMENT" of humanitarian efforts. A new socio-economic and political future is at hand. The United Nations will be empowered by a people movement. It is imperative that non-governmental women leaders come to the forefront to empower the women as the "CATALYST." The time has come for women to rally around the world to prevent and stop war and create change, not wait for it. Who has the VISION, the COURAGE, the DESIRE, to create change? Will WOMEN utilize this opportunity to change the world? Where are the women Gandhi’s? Helen Caldicott stated her initial reason for starting WAND was because she thought women would make the difference. Let’s go back to her original concept and show that she was right. The DOOR is OPEN. Happy New Year! Please contact me at your earliest convenience. Peace and Love, Meria Heller, Spokesperson GSofNV Meria@GlobalStrategyofNonviolence.org GSofNV Facilitator: Andre Sheldon Andre@GlobalStrategyofNonviolence.org Sister Joan Chittister, Co-Chair of the Global Peace Initiative of Women, in an amazing speech given at the Omega/ VDay conference in New York City, September 11, 2004 said, “The lives of our children, the protection of millions, the hopes of all humankind, wait again now for women, from opposite cultures, opposite tradition, to step over the line of political hatred to save them.” “If a person with black hair sees a person with red hair, he or she sees someone different, but, if a person with black hair sees a child with red hair, he or she sees a child.” Adil Najam, Boston University, International Relations.
