June 2, 2023

The danger of nuclear war has escalated to a point that no thoughtful person on the planet can ignore any longer. Yet, in this atmosphere, there are still some who think there should be more weapons, more sanctions and who think that a nuclear war can be won against Russia. It is very clear that those who have provoked the war, and continue to escalate it, do not care about the lives of the people of Ukraine or any other nation on the planet for that matter. This is NOT acceptable to those of us who care about the well being of ALL of humanity —Those who do not wish to see the human race wiped off the face of the earth.

We, the citizens of the world, therefore bring together all of our forces for peace, as a unified coalition above ideologies, to stop nuclear war now unfolding. We refuse to let humanity perish at the hands of insanity.

As his holiness Pope Francis recently stated : “I think that peace is always made by opening channels. You can never achieve peace through closure.”

We believe the fundamental principles to bring lasting peace is through the security of every nation and dialogue toward the common aims of humanity — the end of poverty, hunger, and the increase of development. We must bring together governments, international organizations and religious organizations to create an opening toward this lasting Peace.

We come together to accomplish these goals not a moment too soon. Let us mature humanity into a new paradigm of cooperation and peace to end the old paradigm of imperialism and geopolitics.
