If 1 billion humans wear this shirt on the same day, humanity is forced to discuss the fact that it currently maintains sufficient mass-murder capacity to cause apocalypses, and that it has the option to sacrifice one of these apocalypses for disease eradication within our lifetime.

Do you already own a t-shirt? Even several?
If so, you can easily upgrade your existing t-shirts. The market value of a plain white t-shirt is approximately $10. The market value of a t-shirt that ended war and disease is approximately . Upgrading yours increases its resale value by approximately times.
On the front, write:
THIS T-SHIRT ENDED WAR AND DISEASE.
On the back, write:
Trade one apocalypse for disease eradication at warondisease.org.
Lay the shirt flat on cardboard so the marker doesn't bleed through. Pencil-trace if your hand is shaky. Fill in with marker. Let dry for an hour before wearing.
Do this to every white t-shirt you currently own. The first time someone sees you wearing one, they will ask. That is the point.
Conservative estimate: in 1 day of public wearing, your shirt is seen by approximately 50 humans. Assume 0.1% of seers (1 in 1,000) would convert to a verified treaty vote if your shirt carried the message. That is approximately 0.05 verified voters per shirt-day.
Each verified voter is projected to prevent approximately deaths from disease and years of suffering across their lifetime.
If 8 billion others pledge by August 6, the bulk order ships. If not, nothing happens. Your pledge is a promise, not a charge.
Front: THIS T-SHIRT ENDED WAR AND DISEASE.
Back: Trade one apocalypse for disease eradication at warondisease.org. Plus the per-buyer QR code.

So 1 day of wearing a blank t-shirt in public costs approximately 0.135 deaths from disease and 24,000 hours of suffering that would not have happened if you had instead worn one with this message.
Over 1 year of public shirt-wearing, blanks cost approximately 50 deaths and 8.8 million hours of suffering.
We mention this not to make you feel bad. Your shirts have been working against you this whole time. We are just telling you.
*Estimates use 50-seers/day + 0.1% conversion as conservative assumptions. Real numbers may be 10× higher or lower depending on visibility patterns and audience.*
