📢 Petition Update #6 – May 15, 2025

PEP Takes Global Peace Message to UN Disarmament Talks

Exciting progress! Project Enduring Peace (PEP) is gaining momentum as we bring our vision for a global peace treaty to the world stage. In March, our team participated in the Third Meeting of States Parties (3MSP) to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) at the United Nations in New York.

What We Did at the UN:

✅ Shared Our Petition and the Transformational Message that Ending International War is Possible 

We introduced PEP’s mission to gather signatures like yours on a petition which urges world leaders to begin peace negotiations with diplomats, UN delegations, and NGOs. We promoted our video, “Ending War is Possible: Here’s Why and How,” which refutes the false but widely held belief that war is inevitable. A video that shows how peace between nations is both urgent and achievable.

✅ Engaged with Civil Society and Allies

We connected with women-and youth-led organizations and are following up with peace partners like WILPF (Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom) to grow a coalition committed to outlawing international war. Events held at the meetings emphasized survivor testimonies, indigenous perspectives, the disproportionate harm to women and children of nuclear warfare and demands for nuclear justice.            

Although the U.S. has not yet joined the TPNW, a growing movement of American cities, faith communities, and peace advocates is keeping up the pressure for disarmament and diplomacy.

✅ Diplomatic Outreach

We’ve now emailed several times to UN ambassadors of nearly 100 key nations and will keep reaching out to them to build support for a new treaty. We’re also initiating contact with members of PNND (Parliamentarians for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament), whose support could help push the call for a global peace treaty into legislative and diplomatic arenas.

New Press Release Highlights:

Our latest press release, “Project Enduring Peace Advocates for a Global Peace Treaty at the United Nations,” announced our mission to revive the spirit of the Kellogg-Briand Pact and reject war as a legitimate tool of policy.

We emphasized:

• Legal and cultural shifts toward peace

• Women’s leadership and peace systems

• Urgency to act before it’s too late

📣 Call to Action

More signatures = more impact. Every signature adds strength to our movement. We must act now to prevent future war and catastrophe. The time to rethink how the world handles conflict is now.

Please keep sharing the petition, the video “Ending War is Possible. Here’s Why and How,” at www.afww.org/project-enduring-peace and its transformative vision of an Earth peace system. This is a movement for justice, survival, and the future of humanity.

For All Children. For All Time. No More War.

Thank you for being part of this historic movement.
