Dear Friend -- Tonight, the G7 released its much awaited statement on nuclear disarmament and there is no other way to put it: this empty statement is a gross failure of leadership. On the same day the G7 leaders visited the Hiroshima Memorial Peace Museum, laid flowers at the cenotaph and met with survivors of the atomic bombing, they put out an empty declaration that failed to come up with any concrete proposals that would take forward their stated goal of a world without nuclear weapons. The statement rehashes, and even walks back earlier language by the G20 that condemned all nuclear threats. Please read our full reaction here. 
In light of this failure, it is more important than ever that we raise our voice. Tomorrow, May 20th, the participants of our recent G7 Hiroshima Youth Summit are calling for a global day of action, will you raise your voice? Thank you, Susi Snyder PS. If you want to stay up to date on what is happening in Hiroshima don’t forget to follow ICAN on social media. We're on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok and LinkedIn. It’s time to end nuclear weapons. |
