There is an event immediately below that all should be aware and join if possible.

You may have read the item I sent last week titled “Final Verdict by the International Jurist from the International Tribunal – We Charge Genocides of October 22-25, 2021”. I did some checking on the “International Tribunal” and learned it was part of the Spirit of Nelson Mandela organization’s initiative, https://spiritofmandela.org/internationaltribunal/. I would recommend exploring this website to learn more about the organization, its purpose and activities.
