Want to Participate in Project Save the World?

PAYING SUBSCRIPTIONS
Now we are doing so – and we hope you’ll continue watching or listening to our forums, which will remain free to everyone. Substack will keep emailing two or so of them each week, on average, to about 13,000 computers worldwide – mostly to NGOs.

The paid subscriptions will be for the reviews and essays we publish. Everyone can read the first 200 words or so for free, but the remainder will be visible only to paying subscribers at about US$8 per month.

Besides the article about our videos, we will occasionally publish other articles by our directors or members, and those also will be fully accessible only to paying subscribers.

Extra benefits: Paying subscribers may participate with other PSTW members in two live Zoom meetings per month – on each first Thursday and Second Sunday, from 12:30 – to 2:00 pm Eastern time at https://zoom.us/j/9108970203. After they arrive and sign in with their email address, we will admit them. Keeping their cameras on throughout the meeting, they will discuss recent videos with some of the original panelists and/or other experts in a live follow-up Q & A.

Only paid subscribers and members may attend the meeting, which will be recorded and made accessible only to them afterward. Paying subscribers will also have the password to the “Members-and Subscribers only” page of our website, where they can share information, ideas, and the chat box from each meeting. Moreover, the most engaged paying subscribers will be offered free membership in PSTW, with voting rights.

BUT FIRST: WHAT IS PROJECT SAVE THE WORLD?
Before deciding, you may want to know more about Project Save the World. It’s a not-for-profit corporation, now applying to become a charity in Canada. Its 14 directors are all well-known globally for their expertise in the global threats that we address. On our website, https://tosavetheworld.ca, you can see more details and thousands of posts about those topics:

• War and Weapons
• Global Warming
• Famine and water scarcity
• Pandemics
• Radioactive risks
• Cyber risks and AI
• Economy
• Governance and human rights
• Civil Society activities

BECOMING A MEMBER
PSTW now has about 115 members and we expect to enlarge to about 200 soon. There are no membership fees, but our members all do contribute a lot. Project Save the World consists almost entirely of volunteers and we prefer to enlist a lively, participatory group of members.

No one can just join PSTW. Instead, people participate in their own preferred ways. Every year, a committee of members picks others who have been especially engaged and offers them each a free three-year-membership. (Not all accept the invitation, since most are busy people.)

The following types of contributions are recognized when we are choosing new members:

• Writing one or more articles for Peace Magazine
• Appearing as a panelist in one or more of our video forums
• Maintaining a paid subscription to us on Substack
• Volunteering your time (e.g., on the Peace Magazine editorial committee; writing grant proposals for PSTW; or posting frequent comments on the website or Substack’s chat)
• Donating financially through other means (see below)

DONATIONS
We have a “donate” button on the blue menu bar of our website https://tosavetheworld.ca and some supporters have set up PayPal accounts there to contribute Can$10 regularly each month to PSTW.

All our forum videos will be accessible without charge on three platforms: YouTube, our own website, and on Substack. But we need donations too, for money enables us to spread ideas widely about potential solutions to global threats. So, we hope you will become one of our new paying subscribers at US $8 per month or US $80 per year.

If You’re Boycotting the US:
We like Substack very much, but it is based in the United States, whereas PSTW is in Canada. Many Canadians and even people in other countries are boycotting purchases from the US until President Trump removes the tariffs and threats to Canadian sovereignty. If you feel that way, you can support us through the online donate button and we will send you the full essays that you would otherwise miss by not being a paying subscriber.

Of course, all your financial contributions – whether by donate button, Substack subscriptions, or performing a task – will be recognized when we are choosing the new list of people to offer memberships. We really like each other and enjoy working together for sustainable peace. To participate, email me with your ideas at mspencer@web.net. Thanks!
