How do we even speak about genocide and apartheid in Gaza and Palestine? Words are not enough, and are too often a substitute for action. Three members of World BEYOND War's global community, Mohammed Abunahel, Maria Santelli and Marc Eliot Stein converge to share our frustration and agony and hear an update from Mohammed about his family which has been living under violent seige in Gaza for the past year and a half.
This special episode honors World BEYOND War's 10 years of global antiwar organizing and action. Guest host Maria Santelli takes us inside WBW's day-to-day operations as we talk to founder and executive director David Swanson, education director Phil Gittins, technology director Marc Eliot Stein, Latin America organizer Gabriel Aguirre, Canada organizer Rachel Small, and Africa organizer Guy Feugap.

As the world roils with war from Gaza to Ukraine, organizations built around idealistic foundations are doing great work in every part of the world. In this roundtable chat, Maria Santelli of the Center on Conscience and War talks about her work with conscientious objectors in the US military and in Kyiv, and Kathy Kelly talks about the important Merchants of Death War Crimes Tribunal which is serving the public with an honest accounting of the crimes of major global military corporations.

You've barely heard of Maria Santelli and you've got no idea who Michael Harris is. All you need to know is this: they are in love, it's a secret, it's as romantic as all hell, everybody in their high school is talking about it...and also they are in high school, their parents don't know they're dating, and this is all a terrible idea. Elizabeth Schmidt joins Marissa to gossip about this very hot mess. Saved by the Bell - Lisa's Allergy
The Center on Conscience & War's Maria Santelli & Bill Gavin show the Selective Service registration to be an outdated, inefficient, inadequate $25M-a-year system to muster troops violates. Plus it violates the rights to freedom of conscience & religion with extra-judicial, unconstitutional penalties without due process. We discuss the above and our nation's inconsistent policies and court rulings on freedom of conscience and religion as they pertain to war, cake art, abortion, and conception. Learn how this opportunity came up. Click Link to Act today BEFORE 2020!Let the commission know you think:1) Draft registration should be ended for everyone, not extended to women;2) All criminal, civil, federal and state penalties for failure to register must be ended and overturned to protect rights to freedom of conscience & religion for those currently living under these penalties;3) National service should remain voluntary. Compulsory service, whether civilian or military, is in conflict with the principles of a democratic republic and free society;4) IF the draft registration is not ended, provide a check box or mechanism to document Conscientious Objection to combat or military participation to protect rights of freedom of religion and conscience while satisfying requirements and avoiding extra-judicial civil, federal and state penalties.Links:Comment Form for National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service Center on Conscience & War (CCW) Coalition Summary and Points for Ending Draft RegistrationCommission email: national.commission.on.service.info@mail.milSUBJECT LINE IF EMAILING: Docket 05-2018-01Extra-Judical Penalties that Violate Rights to Religion & Conscience by StateCCW Links Related to Draft & Selective ServiceYes, we know there's a House Bill.

If one had a philosophical or religious objection to military service, why would they volunteer? The modern CO application, as it’s called, comes from those who sign up for service, but come to their conscientious objection during their tour of duty, like Dante Searcy and Fanny Garcia who tell us their stories of being granted “CO” status on this program. Also on this program, we hear from Maria Santelli, the Executive Director of the Center on Conscience and War, an organization that began in 1940 and today offers assistance to people like Searcy and Garcia to prepare their Conscientious Objection applications that go before Pentagon Panels for review. We placed three calls over the course of a week to the public affairs office at the Pentagon to get the Defense Department take on the Conscientious Objector discussion, but no one returned our calls.
