36] – On Wed., Dec. 16 from 10 to 11:30 AM, get with a Book
Event: A World Free from Nuclear Weapons, as part of the Vatican Conference on
Disarmament. In November 2017, Pope Francis denounced nuclear deterrence as
morally unacceptable for the first time, which represented a major shift in the
Vatican’s nuclear doctrine. He made this historic pronouncement during the
Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development's international symposium on
“Prospects for a World Free of Nuclear Weapons and for Integral
Disarmament," which was the first global gathering on atomic disarmament
after the approval of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in
2017. This event continues the discussion begun at the symposium and draws
on the book A World Free from Nuclear Weapons, published by
Georgetown University Press in August 2020 coinciding with the seventy-fifth
anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
This event hopes to inspire diplomatic action, promote intercultural dialogue, and foster greater understanding of integral human development as envisioned by Pope Francis in Laudato Si and Fratelli Tutti. A panel of experts will discuss the place of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (which enters into force in January 2021) on the path to nuclear abolition and integral disarmament. This event will be livestreamed to the Vatican News channel on YouTube. RSVP at https://berkleycenter.georgetown.edu/events/book-event-a-world-free-from-nuclear-weapons.
37] – Join in an important online book launch event. Nonviolence International [info@nonviolenceinternational.net] is rolling out the short book, Beyond the Two State Solution, which Jonathan Kuttab has written.

RSVP at https://www.nonviolenceinternational.net/webinar_registration_jk_booklaunch_20201216?utm_campaign=jk_book_launch_webinar&utm_medium=email&utm_source=nonviolenceinternational.
38] – In the United States, 2.3 million people are locked away in prisons, jails, and immigration and juvenile detention centers, where they are subject to civil and human rights violations. With COVID-19, the dangers of imprisonment have multiplied exponentially, making every sentence a potential death sentence. That’s why, between International Human Rights Day (Dec. 10) and International Migrants Day (Dec. 18), people across the country are taking part in a week of action to #FreeThemAll—urging public officials to take immediate steps to protect incarcerated people from the virus, release as many as possible, and work toward a future without incarceration.
Join an online national event to learn and act. On Wed., Dec. 16 at 2 PM, join people across the country making phone
calls to public officials urging them to release people, adopt protective
measures, and more. You will get stories and updates on campaigns from around the
U.S. and all the training you need to take action; just come ready with a phone
and internet access. Register here. https://www.afsc.org/action/freethemall-phone-zap?contactdata=52bi5XErmb%2bsC2sg2Aons75OYjmuz17PDUvBI9ho%2bWSlVf0%2bm1%2br9HxVEy%2fO5tu4UXF9jnh7Vyvq5a5I%2fxUun2MbEBRxvvmSGm6LgedhD8GV1HtPFKzOgJ90T3hFhLVY15quYVXPXmfSY7wOpmA8COvIXsMMUUVtsO9nIZb5z7ZaTqiWyHn2CxDbX%2bPZ%2bJXQtHyjfv1%2fAGnpTG6V4yE6n5WYZem0x2ZHa6D2wQypl6Id%2bzYFIbxTR4wmpyFMHoqf2KfLHL38yeXIux2JEvsDsQ%3d%3d&ms=EMA21AA1210&emci=b2084ca9-8639-eb11-9fb4-00155d43b2cd&emdi=293a0c8f-fc3a-eb11-9fb4-00155d43b2cd&ceid=764241.
41] – Make Calls for Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff. The presidential election may be over (Donald Trump’s refusal to concede notwithstanding), but control of the US Senate hangs in the balance, pending the results of two runoff elections in Georgia, the nation’s newest battleground state. Early voting started December 14, and Special Election Day is January 5, 2021. The Sierra Club will be making phone calls in support of Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, whose races could determine the fate of President-Elect Biden’s ambitious green agenda. Sign up to call Georgia voters at https://www.mobilize.us/sierraclubbattleground/event/272291/?utm_source=insider&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter. The available times are Wed., Dec. 16 from 3 to 6 PM and 6 to 9 PM ET and Thurs., Dec. 17 from 3 to 6 PM and 6 to 9 PM EST. The calls will continue through Tues., Jan. 5 from 6 to 9 PM EST.
42] – As Lindsey Graham and Senate Republicans seek to sabotage the elections in Georgia, we must rise above them and mobilize Georgia’s Democratic base to cast their ballots.
