a Global Movement of Nonviolence is here! It will coincide with the Climate
The Time to Act is Now - Click here The time has come for something special and good to happen in the world. Do we, the people, wait for it to happen or do we make it happen. Usually change comes from a disaster. We must not wait for a disaster. We must act now. Therefore, to stop violence and war, promote nonviolence, and to unite the people of the world to work together for humanity, the time has come for women to RISE-UP! UNTIL WOMEN UNITE as the PEACEMAKERS, there will be no Peace! (See letter to Naomi Klein) The following is a plan to enlist non-governmental WOMEN LEADERS to be the leaders of a Gandhi / King-like people movement called a Global Movement of Nonviolence, For the Children (GMofNV). A GMofNV is designed to begin immediately! All the “mechanisms are in place” and the “catalyst” to implement the plan is prepared! A GMofNV will be implemented by an initiative to empower women everywhere called a CALL to WOMEN, a World-Wide Unity Campaign (C2W) Women Leaders will ask women to be the first to unite! The world is becoming more and more divided and violent and that is why women, the best representatives of nonviolence possible, are needed to show that there is another way to resolve conflict! A GMofNV and a C2W are not just for women, it is for everyone as the Civil Rights movement in the United States was for everyone. What makes a CALL to WOMEN and a GMofNV different from other movements is that they will be promoting STOPPING WAR and at the same time ILLUSTRATE RESPECT and GENUINE CARING for people everywhere, working together to help others, for HUMANITY -- beginning with the children! The success is predicated on women leaders taking the lead. It will be shown that once the women leaders join, the women (and men) will follow, the media will follow, and millions of dollars can be raised – power against power! Specific plans are designed for the WOMEN LEADERS to: • Enlist all the MAYORS (or community leaders in every village, town,
• Enlist the WEALTHY, • Create a GLOBAL PHILANTHROPIC FOUNDATION, • Reach out to MEN,
women leaders. Their function will be to first, enlist the TEAM, a “Council of Women” that will be the spokespersons for the movement. The Council of Women would then enlist all the women leaders from around the world to promote and issue a CALL to WOMEN! The first women leaders enlisted are vital. The WOMEN LEADERS recommended are: Marianne Williamson – Author and Spiritual Leader Alice Walker – Author and Activist Gloria Steinem – the Face of Women, Leymah Gbowee – Nobel Peace Laureate THESE WOMEN have the ability to MOVE MOUNTAINS! They would be asked to enlist the full contingent of Women Nobel Peace Laureates, who then enlist women leaders from around the world, a “chain reaction” where leaders, women and men, enlist their whole movements! The grassroot organizations everywhere have started from the ground up. Now it is time to tie them all together! WOMEN LEADERS will ANNOUNCE 1. WOMEN of the world are UNITING AS THE PEACEMAKERS 2. WE are starting the largest PEACE MOVEMENT the world has ever
the world has ever seen
The beginning date is tentatively set for
Time for Women to take a POLITICAL VOICE and ATTAIN POLITICAL CLOUT. THEREFORE: • WOMEN LEADERS are going to Issue a CALL to WOMEN (C2W) • WOMEN everywhere will be asked to promote a GMofNV • The MAYORS and Community Leaders everywhere will be asked to
Sometimes in life an unexpected opportunity arises when one has to make an important decision. This is one of those times. A FULL STRATE GY to enlist the leaders and begin the movement is prepared. Women le aders must come together and announce the movement to properly mar ket a GMofNV before it begins on September 11th. If war was coming the people would mobilize within two days. Now we have nine months to put the leadership team and prepare the announcement in May of 2021. Once the movement is announced, the leaders will deliver demands and deadlines and the people will be informed of specific tactics of resistance, organizing, AND the constructive tools for working together! IN ONE STEP, BY RISING UP to STOP WAR and VIOLENCE, women can help to bring about social, economic, and political paradigm change! The time is now. The key is for people to "Commit to Nonviolence." Excellent programs as a guide are prepared (Campaign Nonviolence & the Metta Center RoadMap,and the Global Marshall Plan and ESRA). The WOMEN LEADERS are busy. Plans are prepared to “provide the means” for the WOMEN LEADERS for administration, funding, marketing, implementation, and follow-up. THE WOMEN LEADERS of the Council of Women must devote time to make decisions – Determine the Demands, Fund Distribution, Oath, Declaration, Proclamation, be the SPOKESPERSONS, Make Announcements, Promote Dates, Network, and Publicize the Movement. Recently, the Environmental Movement promoted a global initiative to influence governments to protect the environment. NOW is the PERFECT TIME to implement a new PEACE MOVEMENT to coincide with the Environmental Movement – each to strengthen each other and promote each other. IN CONCLUSION, The time has come for WOMEN to RISE-UP. It is up to the WOMEN LEADERS to make it happen and save the WORLD! To unite the people and the movements, two main common elements were found. The first is nonviolence. The people everywhere do not want violence! The second is the children. The people in every country want their children to grow up in a safe and healthy environment. The children are the motivation for each segment of a GMofNV – mobilization, conflict resolution, reconciliation, and working together as human beings. The world needs it now, “For the Children” of today and the children of the future! All the elements are aligned now! It won’t be easy and there will be risks. The intricacies are complex, but there is simplicity in setting it in motion. The key is getting it started! These plans will not solve all the immediate problems, but it will set a direction and an avenue for people to work together for long term goals. The people will be promoting a new narrative of committing to nonviolence and committing to working together for humanity – helping others. This narrative is the vital component to change the consciousness of the people of the world. It will be difficult to mobilize this year because in the United States, with the presidential campaigning, the people are occupied, but the movement is for everyone and the U.S. must be part of the mobilization. Gandhi said about nonviolence, “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. I have gone through the first three. It’s time to win! Sister Joan Chittister, September 11th, 2004, at the Omega / V Day Conference: “Women and Power, Our Time to Lead” 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.” The time has come for WOMEN to RISE-UP. We have to think BIG. The time is here for people to UNITE EVERYWHERE! Women taking a voice to “defuse” the most crucial conflicts, will give women a voice in every issue and the supporters of a GMofNV will also gain political clout. This task will not be easy. There will be sacrifice and suffering. Women must take a political voice to change the world The opportunity is at our FINGERTIPS to change the world, if we choose to. Peace and Love, Andre Sheldon

Your "Call to Women" is excellent. Well written, clear, strong. No doubt women represent non-violence best. …10/25/04 Margarita Papandreou - Former 1st lady of Greece, Co-founder of WINPEACE "This sounds like a positive initiative." 1/6/08 Gila Svirsky - Co-founder of Coalition for Women for Peace I completely agree with your vision and overall approach – to mobilize women to lead the way to peace. This has been core to our peace activism in Israel for almost 20 years. ...10/8/07 Helen Caldicott - "I think this is a very good idea..." ...11/28/03
“Thanks for sending the information on your wonderful project. The children are indeed a unifying force, and women are indeed the active agents of a most great peace. Your GSofNV/Call to Women can enliven the spirit of peace that we so desperately need on the planet in these days.”

The whole world must unify over a common cause: the children. |
When the world focuses on the children with programs directly providing food and shelter, as an umbrella for all issues, paradigm change will occur. Paradigm change requires a "catalyst." A Global Strategy of Nonviolence calls upon the Women of the World to "mobilize" and create the largest, nonviolent peace movement the world has ever seen! Who will lead? |
