Webinar: Creative Resistance and Media Activism in Western Sahara
2026-07-28 18:00 - 19:30 (Europe/Amsterdam)
Join Nonviolence International, Solidarity Rising and World BEYOND War for a webinar on Tuesday, July 28, at 5pm Western Sahara and 12pm EDT, entitled Creative Resistance and Media Activism in Western Sahara. Speakers include Mahfud Bechri, Najla Lamin Salma, Saharawi Voices’ Mohamedsalem, and Nazha Khalidi, and host Greta Thunberg.
This webinar brings together Sahrawi activists, scholars, filmmakers, and journalists to show that resistance isn’t only remembered — it’s created, published, and performed every day. Across the refugee camps and the occupied territories, poetry, music, and visual art sustain morale and preserve identity, while citizen journalists and digital organizers break through Morocco’s media restrictions and the silence the rest of the world has allowed to settle over Western Sahara. Speakers will trace how their creative and media work operates as a frontline strategy of nonviolent resistance, and open space for connection with journalists, artists, and organizers gathering in the camps near Tindouf, at the Sahrawi Solidarity Summit, in January 2027.
Goals

Center Sahrawi voices directly and focus on resistance

Frame creativity as resistance: position Sahrawi poetry, music, visual art, and film not as cultural footnotes but as active, nonviolent resistance strategies that preserve identity and sustain morale across the camps and occupied territories

Spotlight media activism: highlight the work of citizen journalists, bloggers, and digital organizers documenting conditions and breaking through Morocco’s media restrictions in the occupied territories, and the international blackout on Western Sahara

Build cross-movement connections: link Sahrawi creatives/media workers with allied journalists, artists, and organizers from other movements attending the Summit, planting seeds for collaboration in Tindouf

Call to action: Boycott the Odyssey movie, amplify/share Sahrawi media, fund specific media projects, attend the Summit 2027

Webinar: How American Media Sold, Censored, and Enabled the Genocide in Gaza
2026-07-29 13:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York)
For nearly three years, U.S. news coverage of Israel’s genocide in Gaza has shaped what the American public was allowed to see, question, and believe.
Presented by the Institute for Palestine Studies-USA in partnership with Prism Reports and Visualizing Palestine, this webinar brings together three authors whose recent and forthcoming books dissect that failure from different angles.
The panel will trace the throughline connecting word choice and headline framing, the visual record of the genocide, the internal culture of U.S. newsrooms covering Palestine, and what accountable, independent journalism can look like going forward.

Online Commemoration Service: Catholic Sisters Unite in Prayer to Remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki Victims, Call for Nuclear Abolition
2026-08-06 18:00 - 19:00 (America/Chicago)
37 religious organizations join annual commemoration growing each year since 2024
What began two years ago as a small gathering of faith-filled voices has become a powerful annual witness to peace. On Thursday, August 6, 2026, at 6:00 pm CDT, the Franciscan Peace Center and the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration will host their third annual Hiroshima Nagasaki Prayer Service via Zoom and open to all.
This year’s theme, “From Remembrance to Abolition,” calls participants to prayerfully honor those killed in the 1945 bombings while renewing their commitment to a world free from nuclear weapons, weapons that, today, number more than 12,000 warheads held by the world’s nuclear-armed states.
The service has grown steadily: 14 co-sponsoring congregations and more than 525 registrants in 2024; 16 co-sponsors and over 1,100 participants in 2025. This year, 36 communities of Catholic sisters and peace and justice organizations stand together as co-sponsors, making this the broadest expression yet of this collective spiritual witness.
“As we remember the suffering of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we pray that world leaders will commit to ending the manufacturing of these weapons of mass destruction,” said Dr. Jennifer Kryszak, Director of Strategic Planning for the Franciscan Peace Center. “This prayer service is both a remembrance and a call to action.”
The event also responds to a call from the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) for “100 Days of Prayer, Fasting, and Advocacy” as a collective spiritual witness running from July 26 through November 3, 2026, during which participating congregations each dedicate a day to pray and act for peace and justice. This August 6 gathering is one such communal offering.
Co-sponsoring organizations include:
Congregation of the Humility of Mary; Dominican Sisters of Peace; Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa; Dominican Sisters of Sparkill; Felician Sisters of North America; Franciscan Action Network; Franciscan Sisters of Little Falls; Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart; IHM Sisters; Our Lady of Grace Monastery, Sisters of St. Benedict; Pax Christi Illinois; Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ; Presentation Sisters Union – US Unit; Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary, Western American Area; Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary-Eastern American Area; School Sisters of Notre Dame, Atlantic Midwest Province; School Sisters of Notre Dame, Central Pacific Province; Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati; Sisters of Charity of Nazareth; Sisters of Charity of New York; Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary; Sisters of Mercy of the Americas Justice Team; Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur – Ohio Province; Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur (East-West Province); Sisters of Providence; Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia; Sisters of St. Francis of Rochester, Minnesota; Sisters of St. Francis, Dubuque, Iowa; Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet; Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet St. Louis Province; Sisters of St. Joseph of Philadelphia; Sisters of the Holy Family; Sisters of the Humility of Mary; US Federation of the Sisters of St. Joseph; Wheaton Franciscans; Women’s Alliance for Theology, Ethics, and Ritual (WATER)
