January 22 is the
monumental day when nuclear weapons become illegal
worldwide as the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear
Weapons enters into force.
You're
invited to join World BEYOND War and our partners to
celebrate this historic day, mobilize those countries
that haven't signed the treaty to urge them to act, and
strategize about how we can leverage this success to
push further in the campaign for nuclear abolition and
the end to all war.
This is a pivotal
moment in the anti-war movement. It's inspiring
to see groups from all corners of the globe organizing
actions in support of this day. Here are some key events
to put on your calendar:
