Please Forward!
Dear Friends,
On Tuesday, October 11 from 12:00 to 2:00PM, Abolition 2000 NY Metro is honored to host former Canadian Senator Douglas Roche, who served as Canada’s Ambassador for Disarmament to the UN, at a brown bag luncheon at the Bahai Center, 866 UN Plaza, at 1st Avenue and 46th Street, 1st floor conference room. Douglas Roche, is the founder of the Middle Powers Initiative, working to organize the middle powers of the world to put pressure on the nuclear weapons states to move more rapidly towards nuclear disarmament, and the author of twenty books, the latest of which is How We Stopped Loving the Bomb. He has returned from a world speaking tour this summer, meetings with senior government officials in China, India, Russia, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Belgium and the United Kingdom and will report back to us on the obstacles and opportunities he encountered for moving forward with the nuclear abolition agenda and getting negotiations started on a treaty to ban the bomb.
We hope you can join us. We will also be following up on other initiatives in our Abolition 2000 Network, including a report back from our Annual Meeting in Geneva and the ICAN Strategy Conference, an update on shutting down Indian Point, plans to support the expand enrollment campaign of Parliamentarians for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament to US members of Congress, as well as strategies for enrolling our city government, if not our recalcitrant Mayor, into the Mayors for Peace program.
