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 \u2014 those who do not wish to see the human race wiped off the face of the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We, therefore, call on the citizens of the world to come together and raise our voices against this madness. Humanity For Peace is building a unified coalition, above ideologies, to stop this unfolding escalation towards nuclear war. We refuse to let humanity perish at the hands of insanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">August 6 will be the 78<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;anniversary of the unnecessary and genocidal nuclear bombing of Hiroshima by the United States, which was followed days later by the same crime against Nagasaki. Humanity For Peace is proud to announce that on this occasion, August 6, 2023, an international rally will be held to remind the world that nuclear war should never be fought and can never be won. Humanity is better than that, and we must reject the destiny of inevitable war as a morally repugnant and horribly cynical view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main rally will be held at the United Nations in New York City, NY, from 1-4pm, which will be live streamed over the internet. In solidarity with this, sister rallies will be held in other cities around the world. Please get in contact with us if you are interested in organizing another sister rally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are currently over 20 organizations sponsoring the event. If your organization would also like to sponsor the event, please contact us. More information, including the current speakers list, can be found at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/humanityforpeace.net\/\">HumanityForPeace.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As President Kennedy said in his famous address to American University in 1963, war is not inevitable \u2014 but only if we work instead to create peace. The leadership in the United States and NATO is currently not working towards this goal, but rather are further escalating and inflaming the situation in Ukraine. For this reason, an international chorus of voices must be raised against this policy, and sound the call for peace!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Join us August 6 \u2014 we must make this sentiment the dominant voice in the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Location:<\/strong><br>Dag Hammarskj\u00f6ld Plaza<br>E 47th St, New York, NY 10017<br>1:00pm \u2013 4:00pm EDT<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Our Demands are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1) The immediate ending of all funding and weapons to Ukraine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2) Convene immediate unconditional peace talks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3) The Dissolution of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4) A new international security architecture must be created to end the division of the world into blocs, eliminating geopolitics.

Kennedy gave a speech at Washington, D.C.\u2019s American University, eight months after the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. The world had just barely avoided destroying itself in a thermonuclear war. The words he spoke that day are words we desperately need to listen to now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cWhat kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children\u2014not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women\u2014not merely peace in our time but peace for all time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Humanity for Peace is organizing a series of actions across the globe on August 6th, to commemorate those who should not have lost their lives that day, 78 years ago. We wish to remind humanity that \u201ca nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.\u201d We will join with others worldwide, holding rallies, vigils, musical tributes, poetry readings, and other activities that day, to insist on peace, and demonstrate how to end the escalating danger of nuclear war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now is the time to act on President Kennedy\u2019s prophetic words:&nbsp;<em>\u201cMankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<em>Requiem<\/em>&nbsp;will be conducted renowned conductor Maestro G\u00fcrer Aykal, the Permanent Conductor and General Music Director of Borusan \u0130stanbul Philharmonic Orchestra, and professor emeritus and former conductor of El Paso, Texas Symphony Orchestra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Join us at the Humanity For Peace Concert!
