Hi Friend --



It’s finally happening- the first Meeting of States Parties to the UN Ban Treaty is right around the corner. But that’s not all. A whole week of events are being prepared for Nuclear Ban Week, Vienna. Are you registered yet <[link removed]>?







We're incredibly excited to kick off the week with a powerful two-day civil society forum that is open to everyone (including online participants for those of you who cannot make it in person). Early Bird Tickets for the Nuclear Ban Forum are available here <[link removed]>until 1 June 2022.



Here’s what we’re planning:



With more than 50 sessions over two days, the Nuclear Ban Forum <[link removed]> is the place to connect with others concerned about nuclear weapons, nuclear war and building the movement to resist them. Speakers from around the globe include such inspirational leaders as:



- Amanda Nguyen from Rise,

- Phil Twyford, the Minister for Disarmament from Aotearoa/ New Zealand,

- Pedro Alonzo and Pedro Reyes, the artistic architects behind the incredible Amnesia Atomica exhibition (which just closed on Times Square)

- Dr. Jonas Jaegermeyr and Nyombi Morris, who will give you the latest information on nuclear weapon’s impact on and connections to the changing climate,

- And, because nuclear weapons have a human cost, the forum will hear from impacted communities from the Kazakh Steppe to the Pacific Islands in several sessions spread over the two days.



Not only that, but there will be practical workshops as well as art, music, and an innovative VR experience to try. Explore the programme here <[link removed]>. Also, on a more practical note, if you would love to come but would need to find a solution to take care of your kids, child-care will be available on site.

This is the first time we’ve had a chance to bring people together to talk about nuclear weapons, to meet those who have been directly impacted, and to demand a difference in years. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to be at this monumental event, where we are planning the end of nuclear weapons.  We hope you will be there. 



Get your tickets now, and we’ll see you soon,



Beatrice Fihn
