"A Vision Bold Enough to Save the World!" - David Hart, new NSP Director of Advocacy and Outreach, will present on the NSP vision, and the Global Marshall Plan
Paint Branch Unitarian Church, 3215 Powder Mill Road, Adelphi, Maryland
David will outline the NSP vision and advocacy for a Global Marshall Plan. The best way to get out of Iraq and empower the progressive forces all over the world is to adopt a Strategy of Generosity. This will bring us so much more security at home then the current strategy of world domination which just builds more and more resistance. We seek to have the advanced industrial countries of the world use their resources to eliminate once and for all global poverty, homelessness, and hunger; provide quality education and health care for all; and repair the global environment. As an initial commitment, we want the U.S. to donate at least 1-2% of its Gross Domestic Product each year for the next twenty years.
