Mayors for Peace, founded in 1982 and led by the Mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, is working for a world without nuclear weapons, safe and resilient cities, and a culture of peace, in which peace is a priority for every individual. As of February 1, 2023, Mayors for Peace has grown to 8,237 cities in 166 countries and territories, representing in total over one billion people. With 223 U.S. members, Mayors for Peace has set a goal of reaching 10,000 member cities as quickly as possible. Can we recruit 50 new U.S. members this year? Join this webinar with Jackie Cabasso on February 23 at 7:00pm ET to learn more about Mayors for Peace and how you can get involved in municipal diplomacy.
