Treaty to Ban Nuclear Weapons

For the first time in history, a treaty to ban nuclear weapons was negotiated at the United Nations. A solid majority of world governments have taken a huge step in eliminating nuclear weapons this July 7, 2017. One hundred and twenty-two nations who do not possess nuclear weapons or maintain a stockpile of nuclear weapons completed negotiations and formally adopted a treaty called the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. The United States and other countries possessing nuclear weapons boycotted the conference. It is hoped that the United States and others will sign this treaty over time. Our task is to pressure our country so that our government will move toward the elimination of our weapons of mass destruction. We urge you to contact our UN representative, Nikki Haley, to re-consider signing this important treaty. And, we urge you to contact your congressional representatives to encourage Ms. Nikki Haley to sign on to the treaty as well.
