We also promote non-military security initiatives which are more effective and cost-effective than the traditional military approach to security. |

| Peace One Day |
The idea of World Peace was certainly not beyond the imagination of British Filmmaker Jeremy Gilley. His film One Peace Day inspired the United Nations to create World Peace Day. You can see excerpts of the this inspiring film on his website Peace One Day. 'I
think it’s a great idea. Any moment where there is a day
or a week that we can give the combatants to pause, to think, and
reflect on what they are doing to their own people and to the environment
will be a great achievement and I will support it 100%... individuals
can make a difference and if each of us did our bit collectively
we will make a major contribution.' |
| Stop the War Coalition |
The Stop the War Coalition was formed on September 21st, 2001 at a public meeting of over 2,000 people in London. The aim of the Coalition should be very simple: to stop the war currently declared by the United States and its allies against 'terrorism'. We condemn the attacks on New York and we feel the greatest compassion for those who lost their life on 11th September 2001. But any war will simply add to the numbers of innocent dead, cause untold suffering, political and economic instability on a global scale, increase racism and result in attacks on civil liberties. |
