We wish to add our voices to the global campaign for an end to nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. We believe that the world needs to take urgent action to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, and to make the world free of nuclear weapons, as part of the overall drive for worldwide peace and the transfer of military spending to socially-useful ends.
In May 2010 the United Nations will meet to review the Nuclear non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Trade unionists from around the world are urging that meeting to make a clear path towards abolition of nuclear weapons in the shortest possible time.
We need YOU and your organisation to take action and give your support to the ITUC campaign for peace and support of the NPT! Most important of all is to collect as many signatures as possible, either on the on-line-petition or on paper. All paper versions must be sent to the ITUC at the latest February 1st 2010. You can download the “Signature book” for collecting the petitions on paper here.
The petition os also present on Facebook. Search for “No to Nuclear Weapons” and you will find it.
SIGN NOW and don’t forget to get as many other people as possible also to sign!
There is also the possibility to apply for A-bomb campaign materials from the Hiroshima Peace and Culture Foundation – these materials (posters and videos) can be used for example in workshops or seminars.
ITUC also supports Mayors for Peace (MFP) in their vision for a world free of nuclear weapons in 2020. You can also contact MFP to seek collaboration in the campaign in your country. Here is the list of mayors already in the network.
