Rally at Battelle: International Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons Enters Into Force!
Patricia A. Marida
All,
I was truly overwhelmed with the enthusiasm and passion and energy shown by everyone at the rally at Battelle on Jan. 22, the day of the Entry Into Force of the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. These omnicidal weapons are now being stigmatized – as evidenced by Battelle trying to distance themselves from their involvement in nuclear weapons research and development. We were there quite a long time, well over 2 hours! Here is a link to Paul Becker’s photos of the rally. Ralph Orr Facebook writeup and photos of Battelle rally are posted under Resources for Protests.
