A PLEA TO PHILANTHROPISTS
You know the facts. You have your understanding of current events on a global scale. Your level of optimism may vary with the elections contested in many nations. Remember this: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.”
There is a right way and a wrong way.
Now is the time to stand in the light and proclaim kindly that we need peace to proceed with the challenges at hand.
We hope to send you a request for funding through appropriate channels. Until then, please consider adding our intention to those in your consideration.
Thank you.
With Sincere Urgency,
Planet and Life

A PLEA TO THE TECH SECTOR
We desperately need your immediate assistance. To build OUT during and after the infectious threat and implement these ideas the world needs secure satellite communications. The existing bandwidth can be repurposed to this end. The country's leadership needs immediate help setting up these new global systems so we can act as one in real time. The capability exists. Please make this happen ASAP. We will pay you back. Some countries need it immediately to avoid societal disruptions. Once a country agrees to Principle #1, that is a go to start hooking them up. We have no more important global priorities.
Thank you.
With Sincere Urgency,
