Nukes In the News: Since the new administration has come to Washington, talk of nuclear nonproliferation has really geared up, especially since President Obama spoke in April of, "America's commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons." Since then, North Korea has illicitly tested several nuclear missiles, resulting in condemnation from the entire international community, including their allies, China and Russia. Recently, Iran has announced nuclear ambitions as well.
John Isaacs, Executive Director of Council for a Livable World, spoke on the conference call about nukes in the news and what we can expect to happen with nuclear treaties like the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, set to expire this year.

July/August Partners for Global Change Project:
Remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki with a Candlelight Vigil
We will continue with the nuclear weapons theme for our July / August Partners for Global Change project, which will center around the anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing on August 6th. We will hold another "virtual vigil" this year (our previous virtual vigil web page is here: http://www.globalsolutions.org/action/virtual_vigil) to remember those hundreds of thousands that were lost to the destructive power of nuclear weapons, but we also ask that you organize a community vigil where you live.
Promote "no more nukes" and ask people to join you on August 6th to remember those who perished as a consequence of developing and deploying such devastating weapons.
