BirthStrikers

BirthStrikers — an organization of people who refuse to have children until we avoid global heating disaster.

The article's discussion of how laws and individual decisions can affect the future population is flawed. It may be true that a global one-child policy would not make the population smaller by 2100, but simply reducing the increase is a step away from disaster.

I agree that individual decisions are not enough to avoid disaster, but the conclusion from that is a reason to push for more.

I think that convincing many people not to have children is a goal we should work for. The fact that so many people report being unable to resist natalist pressure on their own shows how much room there is to make progress.

There are many other reasons not to have children.

Combatants for Peace is a joint Arab-Jewish organization that campaigns nonviolently for reconciliation between the two peoples. The word "combatants" refers to the fact that its founders were former fighters on both sides.

The US just blocked one of its Arab activists from visiting the US for a speaking tour.

The border thugs gave no explanation for the decision, but he says that the questions they asked him were about the organization.
