No Star Wars Campaign

The Czech Parliament will have to take a stand about the construction of a U.S. military base and probably it will vote in favour of its installation, even though 70% of the population opposes this plan. Given the urgency of the situation, we have launched an on-line petition to exert pressure on the Parliament and ask that the matter be resolved with a referendum.

Join the Hunger Strike on June 22nd in solidarity with the Czech people opposing the installation of the US Radar Base outside of Prague.

The humanist movement was launched in the late 1960s and has now reached more than 100 countries. It has given rise to thousands of projects and initiatives — from neighborhood and cultural groups, to volunteer health clinics and schools, campaigns for disarmament, local and regional Humanist Forums, and Humanist political parties — all guided by the image of building a Universal Human Nation, a world without wars, and based on non-violence, the convergence of diversity, and progress for all human beings.
