Support the 2017 negotiations towards establishing a treaty prohibiting nuclear weapons, approved by the UN General Assembly on December 23.
Why is this important?
On December 23, the UN General Assembly approved a resolution to launch negotiations in 2017 on a treaty banning nuclear weapons. [1] Unfortunately, the Obama Administration opposed the resolution. [2] Worse, the Obama Administration called on other countries to vote against the resolution and to boycott the treaty negotiations. [3] The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) is urging all countries to take part in the treaty negotiations. [4]
Urge President Obama and Members of Congress to support the negotiations on a treaty to ban nuclear weapons by signing our petition.
