On Jan. 22, 2021, the United Nations Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons [UN Nuclear Ban Treaty] Entered Into Force and the UN declared “NUCLEAR WEAPONS ILLEGAL.” We gathered with groups and people across the country in celebration of this landmark treaty in front of the Federal Courthouse across from the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, PA. One year later, on Saturday, January 22, 2022, the first anniversary of the historic treaty entering into force, people will again gather in celebration of the UN Nuclear Ban Treaty. We demand that the U.S. government listen to the world and Join the UN Treaty to abolish nuclear weapons.

Lift your voice. Large colorful banners and posters
