Today we launched a new campaign for the United Nations Foundation, an exciting initiative to encourage the US to "pay up" its fair share of dues to the UN for global peacekeeping.

The campaign, called "Price of Peace" offers that "Peace is cheaper than war", and that the UN is both significantly more efficient (8X cheaper than unilateral US action) and more effective (60 years, 172 peaceful settlements). The US government itself continues to press the UN to become even more involved in peacekeeping global hotspots yet for some reason US Congress is potentailly witholding up to $500M in current US dues it has already promised, with up to $1B in arrears by the end of the year. This is the cost of 2 days of the Iraq war!

BIG NEWS this week for Nothing But Nets, our online fundraising project for the UN Foundation. This week we learned we were nominated for a Webby Award for world's best website in the Charitable Organizations category!!! The Webby's are the online oscars, literally the top honour in our field, and we were shortlisted over thousands of entries from around the world. This is a huge deal for the UN Foundation, for our creative and development team who made the site, and of course for the families in Africa who we are all raising money for (over $4.6 M to date in less than a year - that's over 460,000 bednets delivered).

We'll be running a more formal campaign soon to encourage our networks to vote for the people's choice awards - there are 2 awards in each catetory, one voted by judges and one by the peeps - but in the meantime please vote for Nothing But Nets to win the People's Voice Award! We are under Society and Charitable Organizations.
