For more than seven decades, nuclear weapons have posed an intolerable, ever-present danger to all peoples and the planet as a whole. Because we abhor these instruments of terror and mass destruction, we warmly welcome the United Nations negotiations for a treaty to ban them.
We write to remind those drafting this important new treaty about the ongoing harm caused by the use of nuclear weapons and by more than two thousand nuclear test explosions around the globe. Indigenous communities have borne the brunt of these deadly experiments. Our land, our sea, and our physical bodies carry this legacy with us now and for unknown generations to come.
National actions will begin on Friday – January 20th, 2023, and will extend to January 24th, 2023, when the Doomsday Clock will be announced by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists.
Rep. Jim McGovern, (Democrat) Massachusetts, will introduce his TNPW Back from the Brink Resolution, embracing the goals and provisions of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, into the U.S. Congress during this time as well.
