On December 16, 2016 a Resolution was adopted by the General Assembly at the United Nations to discuss banning nuclear weapons.
None of the nuclear weapons states voted for the resolution, effectively isolating themselves from the rest of the world which seeks to ban these genocidal/ecocidal weapons by pushing (forcing?) the nuclear nations to live up to their treaty obligations under the NPT to disarm.
Meetings at the U.N. will be held March 27 to 31, and June 15 to July 7, 2017 and a Women's March to Ban the Bomb is scheduled for June 17th in New York City.

This blog is dedicated to stories of protest and resistance, calls for nuclear disarmament, remembering those who have made and do make significant contributions to peace.
These are extraordinary stories. It has been an honor and privilege to recruit the material for the blog as a United for Peace and Justice project for Nuclear-Free Future Month and Peace and Planet Summer.
