Impacts from Privatization of space: Environmental, Conflicts over celestial claims, war
2021-11-14 13:30 - 15:00 (America/New_York)
ICSS Marxist Library (San Francisco Bay area) is sponsoring this webinar with Bruce Gagnon from the Global Network as speaker.
This talk will include the plans by the nuclear industry to establish nuclear rockets to Mars and nuclear-powered mining colonies on the planetary bodies. Included will be a review of US attempts to destroy the United Nations Outer Space and Moon Treaties as Obama in 2015 signed a new law giving US corporations the ‘right’ to make land claims for mining the sky in violation of those treaties. This will result in moving the war system into space as other nations will not allow the US to act as the ‘Master of Space’.

Keep Space for Peace Week
2021-10-02 - 2021-10-09
A gold rush into space is now underway.
There are tens of thousands of mini-satellites expected to be launched in coming years, mostly for 5G which will have military application for greater surveillance and targeting.
We can expect growing deterioration of the Earth’s ozone layer due to toxic rocket exhaust. More spaceports (often in environmentally sensitive areas) are being constructed to handle the glut in launches. Astronomers are angry as they witness the dark night sky covered in satellite trails.
The privatization of space for profit puts the United Nations’ Moon and Outer Space Treaties in jeopardy. The Pentagon’s ‘Space Force’ is issuing statements about the U.S. determination to control the pathway ‘on and off’ the planet.
Now is the time for us to gather internationally and call for protection of the space environment from greed, pollution and war. Join us by organizing a local public event in your community during Keep Space for Peace Week.
Events at military bases, space tech production facilities, launch sites, outside government buildings and more.
Please check out & share our many space videos.
Organize a local event – Be sure to let us know about any event you organize in your local community during space week.

Symphony of Minds: Feeling Our Way into a Vibrant Future
2021-09-26 10:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Webinar
Symphony of Minds: Feeling Our Way into a Vibrant Future is a webinar co-sponsored by Stop 5G International and the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space. The webinar will bring together people from various fields and advocacy groups to share and cross fertilize minds and hearts, as we try to make sense of these seemingly disruptive and confusing times, and to feel into what may be manifesting on the horizon.
It is evident and palpable that the world is in crisis now on many different fronts. Some of the issues we are now facing touch nearly every one of us profoundly and very personally: 5G, climate change, war, covid, vaccines, satellites, physical and mental health epidemics, political polarization, racism, nuclear weapons, globalization etc. But there is a silver lining. The crises are so impactful they seem to be fast tracking us toward a much-needed global awakening, reckoning, and rethinking of where we’re headed.
As people who care deeply about the state of the world, we advocates/campaigners spend much of our time opposing what is wrong. In so doing, we may inadvertently give power to what we don’t want, rather than to envision, manifest and empower what we do want.
This webinar is intended to be one of many small steps being taken by people around the world to address what went wrong that got us to this precipice; what we’re doing right now; and where we might go from here to reach a tipping point of global healing and awakening.
Panelists: Jeremy Lent, Frédérique Apffel-Marglin, Jean Hudon, Julian Gresser, Bruce Gagnon and Henna Maria

#NoWar2021: World Beyond War Conference: From Weapons Fairs to War Zones: Unravelling the War Machine
2021-06-04 - 2021-06-05
The Global Network is co-sponsoring this virtual coalition peace conference on June 4-6.
There are two events that the GN will be responsible for (times are in Eastern Daylight Time – GMT-04:00):
Friday, June 4, 2021
17:45-18:45: Discussion Groups by Topic – Join a discussion group to learn more about these issues and meet others who are working on these campaigns!
Weapons in Space and the Conversion of the MIC: Who cares about an arms race in space? Is it far away and in the future? Let’s talk about what is going on with Space Force and the need to transform the war machine. Moderators: Bruce Gagnon, Dave Webb, and Mary Beth Sullivan.
Saturday, June 5, 2021
15:15-16:15: Panel: Star Wars: 21st Century Missile Defence – with Lynda Williams, Dave Webb & Bruce Gagnon. Moderator: Mary Beth Sullivan.
The push to move the arms race into space is accelerating dramatically. The US is pulling out of arms control treaties and refusing to negotiate a total ban on weapons in space at the United Nations. At the same time the Pentagon is provocatively encircling Russia and China with ‘Missile Defense’ systems (the shield) that is a key element in first-strike attack planning. The nuclear industry also views space as a new market for their deadly product with planned nuclear mining colonies, nuclear reactors on rockets to Mars and nuclear reactors to power space-based weapons systems. Learn more about the work of the Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space as we organize to Keep Space for Peace.

Webinar discussion about the dangerous US/NATO/Russia/Ukraine maneuvers
2021-05-05 19:00 - 20:30 UTC
What is going on?? And how dangerous is the situation?
Speakers are Bruce Gagnon, Elizabeth Murray, Yuri Sheliazhenkol, Reiner Braun
Events in the U.S./NATO/Ukraine challenge to Russia have been moving at a frenetic pace. Ukraine increased deployment of military troops to the eastern provinces on the border of Donbass. Russia predictably responded by mobilizing a large part of its military to meet the Ukraine threat. In another incident, the US publicized two U.S. warships heading into the Black Sea; Russia warned US/NATO not to send warships and the US finally u-turned them in the Dardanelles passage, the entryway from the Mediterranean into the Black Sea in response to this warning.
US/NATO gave “unwavering” support to the Ukrainian government but the Ukrainian president backpedaled on his threat to go to war to regain Crimea. President Biden spoke with President Putin and called for a meeting between the two to reduce tensions.
The zoom link will be available on the website shortly before the webinar.

Is Russia truly our enemy? Should we risk nuclear war?
2021-04-12 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Webinar
Bruce Gagnon has been to Russia and Ukraine several times in the last couple of years including leading a delegation of 25 on a study tour of Russia in 2019. The purpose of the tour was to listen, learn, and stand against the constant demonization of Russia by the media across the west. The idea was to build people-to-people bridges between our nations rather than an escalating arms race which could bring us WW III. During the WW II Nazi invasion of the former Soviet Union 27 million citizens lost their lives from the fascist attacks and occupation. The memory of that war is deep in the consciousness of the Russian people to this day.
Bruce is the Coordinator of the Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space which he co-founded in 1992. A few of his many projects and honors: State Coordinator of the Florida Coalition for Peace & Justice, writer featured by Project Censored twice, 2006 recipient of the Dr. Benjamin Spock Peacemaker Award, current host of a public access TV show called This Issue running in 17 Maine communities and is featured by artist Robert Shetterly in his collection of portraits and quotes entitled Americans Who Tell the Truth. He is an active member of Veterans for Peace.
About NHPA’s bi-weekly Zoom Peace & Justice Conversation Series: 2020’s upheavals brought us to a new moment of reckoning and possibility. How do we want to live in the world? What do we value? How can we make the changes we’ve been yearning for? NH Peace Action has been engaged in working for change for decades. We’d like to bring you into these conversations about issues and options for the future. Join us!

SpaceX 5G Satellite Protest
2021-03-19 10:00 - 14:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Hawthorne, California, 1 Rocket Road, Hawthorne, CA, United States
Satellites, rockets, and 5G on earth and in sky.
What is the cost to health and the environment?
5G SpaceX Satellite Protest

Join us and people around the world as we demand an immediate halt to 5G satellites & technology on earth & in space unless proven safe… as we call for safer and wiser technology options.

Up to 100,000 low earth orbit satellites, complementary earth base stations & millions more cell antennas (aka User Terminals) have been approved by the FCC. SpaceX and other companies are now deploying satellites to provide 5G wireless internet to every corner of the globe, blanketing the entire planet in wireless radiation with potentially devastating consequences to all of life.

Environmental dangers abound. They include:

depletion of the ozone layer
cyberattacks costing $ trillions
pollution from rocket launches (exhaust gases, black carbon, alumina, toxic chemicals)
space debris & collisions – Kessler Effect
vast increase in energy consumption
climate impacts from manufacturing & disposal of all connected “things” & infrastructure
interference with the global electrical circuit
potential disruption to satellites & connected IoT networks from solar flares
effects on navigation & survival of wildlife
further militarization of space

1 Rocket Road, Hawthorne, California
Parking limited—Uber or bus recommended
