On January 16, join us on January 16 to watch and discuss this film in the lead-up to January 22, the historic day when the nuclear weapons become illegal when the UN Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons comes into force. We'll hear from World BEYOND War Board Member Alice Slater, who has dedicated her life to banning the bomb. Alice will give a historic perspective on the nuclear abolition movement and how we got to where we are today with the passage of the ban treaty. In addition to her work with World BEYOND War, Alice is the UN NGO Representative of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, a board member of the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space, a member of the Global Council of Abolition 2000, on the Advisory Board of Nuclear Ban-US, and a member of the Lawyers Alliance for Nuclear Arms Control. Then we'll break out into discussion groups to network and strategize with other activists around the world, share action ideas for the January 22 global day of action. Click "Register" to sign up.
