Fw: 2. circular letter of Disarm Now!

[Martine de Henau]

>
> Dear friends,
>
> the international preparatory meeting in Washington on November 16th
> was very productive and pointed us in the right direction towards the
> NPT Conference in New York. We made big steps forward in the
> organization of the events and actions.
>
> Many national coordination groups are constituting themselves,
> promoting the international Disarm Now! call, mobilizing their
> society, and putting pressure on their governments to actively work on
> the abolition of all nuclear weapons.
>
> One of the ideas is to present the list of endorsers of the Disarm
> Now! Call to the media at different press conferences in different
> countries on Febuary 15th 2010. One highlight of our actions at the
> NPT Conference will be the handover of the list of endorsers to
> representatives of the United Nations.
>
> The Disarm Now! call is one of the most important pieces for our
> international protest and feedback has been positive so far; up to now
> it received support of over 130 endorsers from more than 20 countries.
> We would like to thank all organizations who have already signed the
> call.
>
> These numbers are quite good but not demonstrative enough: we want to
> spread the call more and gain more endorsers. Therefore we ask all of
> you who have not signed already to endorse the call. And we ask all of
> you to promote the call to organizations within and beyond your
> network. Continue to spread it via your email-lists and approach
> different groups you haven't worked with.
>
> The NPT conference offers the chance to extend relations to other
> movements and groups of our society. It opens possiblities to broaden
> the peace movement and extend its scope.
>
> Let us make a strong statement against nuclear weapons and for a world
> without them. We can do so by presenting to the UN the Disarm Now!
> call with a minimum of one thousand endorsers from all over the world.
