Walk For A Nuclear Free Future July 31, to August 9, 2009

Let us Join together calling for:

    * Abolition of all Nuclear Weapons
    * An end to Nuclear Power
    * Conversion to a Peaceful, Sustainable Way of life

Tens of thousands died agonizing deaths in the days, weeks and months to follow. Survivors still suffer, physically and psychologically.

We ardently embrace President Obama's courageous statement in Prague, “of America’s commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons ...As the only nuclear power to have used nuclear weapons, the US has a moral responsibility to act. We cannot succeed in this endeavor alone, but we can lead it, we can start it”.
We the people must breath life into these bold and beautiful words that point to a world where we build security not on arms, but on negotiation, cooperation and cultivation of trust.
Our wholehearted commitment and faith in humanity and life must become the spiritual force that, together with President Obama's vision and courage, overcomes the entrenched interests that cling to hold on to nuclear weapons and on our right to use them.

Nuclear Free Future

 
A broad coalition of people and groups building ties for the common good between efforts to abolish nuclear weapons, end nuclear power and redirect military expenditures to meet human needs and save the natural world.

Mayors for Peace

Begun in 1982 by the Mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Mayors for Peace is a global network of Mayors who join hands in the common call that their city, along with all cities, must never be targeted by nuclear weapons. To realize this goal, all nuclear weapons must be abolished from the earth.

Hold the Date

May 2, 2010 the day for a massive rally at the United Nations in New York City, an outpouring of the sentiment of the people of the world for a nuclear-weapons-free world, and a call that the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty become a genuine vehicle to realize this dream.
