Global Petition to Abolish Nuclear Weapons

The Foundation joined together with dozens of organizations around the world to collect signatures on a petition to President Obama that were submitted in advance of the 2010 NPT Review Conference in May 2010.

The petition called upon President Obama to announce "at the 2010 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference (his) initiation of good faith multilateral negotiations on an international agreement to abolish nuclear weapons, within our lifetimes."

International Conference for a Nuclear-Free, Peaceful, Just and Sustainable World

On April 30 and May 1, the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation co-organized a conference at the historic Riverside Church in New York City. Over 1,000 people from 25 countries participated in workshops and plenary sessions designed to educate, inspire and build lasting partnerships among people dedicated to the abolition of nuclear weapons.

On May 1, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon delivered the keynote address. Speaking to the hundreds of grassroots nuclear abolition activists in attendance, the Secretary-General said, "What I see on the horizon is a world free of nuclear weapons. What I see before me are the people who will help make it happen…We will rid the world of nuclear weapons. And when we do, it will be because of people like you. The world owes you its gratitude."
