From Prague to Times Square: No Nukes, No Wars, Fund Human Needs, Protect the Planet!

 

In Prague, Presidents Obama and Medvedev signed the START treaty.  A roadmap from Prague to nuclear abolition is needed now. The next city on that roadmap is New York City on Sunday, May 2, where the global movement for peace and disarmament will gather.

 

Thousands will fill Times Square on May 2 to let them and all the delegates gathering at the UN for the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty Review Conference know: No Nukes, No Wars, Fund Human Needs, Protect the Planet.

 

In Times Square on Sunday, May 2, we will rally and march to the United Nations to bring the cause of ending the nuclear madness, wars and occupations before the public and to the top of the agenda for the world’s leaders! If not now, when?

 

Join us!
