Have a Happy Earth Day!

And enjoy your member-only link for the WILPF Congress registration

Reduced price before May 15 for the full WILPF Congress

Our Congress theme – Water on the Frontlines for Peace – is right in line with the Earth Day 2024 theme: Planet vs. Plastics. In the early 2000s, the WILPF US Water Campaign focused on opposing bottled water. That campaign united the issues of safe drinking water and ending plastic consumption. Now, nearly 20 years later, rapacious capitalism fuels theft of water, global plastic pollution, and widespread wars. Corporate-driven climate upheavals make many areas no longer able to support even subsistence farming on inundated or water-starved lands.

Earth Day, is a perfect time to register for the Congress to hear the latest strategies for protecting both water,  essential for all life on Earth, and peace, essential for civilized human life.

This is the last time you’ll get this link!

You also should have received this member-only link on the Congress invitation postcard sent out a couple of weeks ago. Here – for the very last time – is this special link.

Join us in the many interactive events planned for this Congress: cultural, conversational, and educational. Of course, WILPF branches and issue committees will also be presenting in plenaries and breakout rooms.

Our motivating and knowledgeable speakers include Mary Grant of Food and Water Watch; Tamara Lorincz, a powerful voice from WILPF Canada, active with the WILPF International Environmental Working Group; and international activist, Osprey Orielle Lake, author of The Story Is in Our Bones: How Worldviews and Climate Justice Can Remake a World in Crisis.

Here’s the link for you to get the member discount!

Act now to get the special rate for WILPF members: $55 for the entire Congress! That price is available only via this exclusive member-only registration link, which is not available on our website or through any other public source.

The Congress is Wednesday, May 29, through Sunday, June 2. In order to connect the maximum number of WILPF members and allies, we are hosting this Congress via Zoom.

Don’t miss out! Register now to secure the members’ early registration rate!

The member-only registration price is available only until May 15: $55 for the entire Congress. The rates for individual days are $20.00 for Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday and a higher $30.00 cost for the day-long programming on Saturday or Sunday. After May 15, 2024, and for non-members, the rate – shown on the Congress website – is higher, at $75.

Questions? Watch the website – and contact us for special situations.

Check the Congress website for the evolving specifics, even up to the start of the Congress. And watch for the postcard later this month with more details on the Congress program.
