Nukes Banned! Zoom Panel and Direct Action
Start: 2021-01-21 18:00:00 UTC Central Standard Time (US & Canada) (GMT-06:00)
This is a virtual event
A landmark U.N. treaty that criminalizes nuclear weapons will become international law on January 22nd. Join activists from the Chicago area on January 21st to celebrate this historic moment and call on the United States to take tangible steps to change its nuclear weapons policies. Grassroots support for changing policy is a critical next step in moving towards complete abolition of nuclear weapons.
Tune in for the panel:
Join
a panel of nuclear weapons experts to learn more about the significance
of the ban treaty entering into force, and what the U.S. can do to move
toward nuclear weapons abolition. The United States has not yet signed
the ban treaty, but substantial reforms are possible in 2021 including
renewed international agreements, reductions in nuclear weapons
spending, and bold policies like a No First Use position.
