Save date: GN 32nd Annual Meeting on Zoom - Saturday, July 20

 


Register now for July 20 GN Zoom meeting

­

The Global Network is proud to be in our 32nd year of organizing to stop the arms race in space.
 
It's actually a mixed blessing. We've not faded into the sunset but we've not yet stopped the aerospace industry from their agenda to move weapons and nuclear power into the heavens. We still have much work to do. So we continue to educate, organize and activate people around the world to join this quest.
 
Please mark your calendar now to join us on July 20th for our two-hour annual meeting.
 
We'll begin with a handful of 10-minute presentations by our leadership and then open the floor for questions and comments from those in the audience.
 
Latest developments from GN board members:  

  •     Koohan Paik-Mander (Hawaii): Missile defense: the big "KICK ME" sign
  •     Agneta Norberg (Sweden): US presence & military development in Sweden
  •     Dr. Dave Webb (UK): Concerns about spaceports & militarisation of space

Since 1992 we've met around the globe
­
Since the Global Network was founded we met each year in a different country where U.S. space warfare and surveillance facilities were located.  

This helped us share info with one another. We also always held a protest during our meeting at one of the space bases.   

When covid hit we had to suspend having those meetings in person and turned to Zoom as so many other organizations have done. It does cut down on carbon emissions and cost but we miss the in person touch. And sharing a meal and a beer as well.  

Please join us and get to know these good people.

 

It's always been about our love for the Earth, the Moon, the heavens and peace
­
We've been lucky to find special people all over the world that share our deep concern about protecting space from war.  

Most of us are not rocket scientists, we are ordinary people with various skills that add up to a sustainable organization that works well together.  

We are not funded by foundations or governments. Our money comes from grassroots people. Many of our supporters have been with us for decades.  

We thank everyone who has contributed in any way to the work of the Global Network during these 32 years.

'Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.' 

~ Henry David Thoreau

You think maybe a view from Russia might be valuable?

Russia has made severable statements about keeping space for peace, and this year with Russia's chairmanship of the BRICS meeting in Russia, Russia will introduce this to the BRICS growing membership. A statement will surely follow.
