The IPB World Peace Congress this October will gather peacemakers from around the world in Barcelona, Spain through the inspiring theme “[Re] Imagine Our World: Action for Peace and Justice.” You can participate virtually in this live global event by registering at www.ipb2021.barcelona. In August 2021, FOR-USA hosted a pre-Congress online event, partnering with the International Sanctuary Declaration Campaign and the International Peace Bureau, focused on “Religion, Peace, and Sanctuary.” The program featured six expert voices from around the world for an in-depth discussion on the impacts of proxy wars, economic exploitation, and climate catastrophe on forcibly displaced peoples and environmental destruction. The speakers discussed the roles of colonial powers, multinational corporations, and the military industrial complex on these crises.
