On January 22nd, the United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) will enter into force. This treaty is a historic achievement in the global movement to abolish nuclear weapons, making it illegal under international law for participating nations to “develop, test, produce, manufacture, otherwise acquire, possess, or stockpile nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices.” The treaty also acknowledges the suffering that nuclear weapons testing and use have inflicted around the world, and includes provisions for environmental remediation and assistance to people affected.

Join us via ZOOM to celebrate the TPNW's entry into force and call on the US to join the treaty. Speakers will address the implications of the treaty, the social and economic consequences of nuclear weapons, and how we can push for positive change under the incoming Biden administration.
