Hi Friend,
As 2019 is coming to a close, I want to take the opportunity to
wish you and your loved ones all the best for the coming year.
For ICAN, 2020 is going to be a huge year. As the world will
commemorate the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki in August, we will make our utmost to honor the victims
of nuclear weapons by ensuring that nuclear weapons become illegal in
2020. And we are going to need all the help we can get to take this
step towards a world free of nuclear weapons.
Did you know that one of the most impactful actions you can take to
make this happen is to start a recurring donation?
Because while we are confident that we can get the Treaty on the
Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons to enter into force in not a
too-distant future, our work will not stop there. We need to keep
going until every single nuclear weapon is eliminated.
At a time when governments are decreasing funding for civil society
and the richest, most powerful countries are trying to stop us, ICAN
relies on committed individuals like you to step up and help us
challenge the nuclear-armed states.
Progress on this issue will depend on committed and engaged civil
society organisations around the world. When a nuclear weapons free
world is realized, it will be because of consistent work by
organisations that remain dedicated to the issue for many more years -
also when the media spotlight moves away to other issues .
A monthly gift provides the stability ICAN depend on to continue
changing norms, laws and public opinion.
Any donation is always very useful for our work, it helps us start
a specific project or activity. But with a monthly donation, you can
help us do what’s going to make nuclear disarmament happen - provide
more stable and predictable funding that will help us engage in
long-term strategies to steadily increasing pressure on all nuclear
armed and nuclear endorsing states.
When you commit a monthly donation to ICAN, you will support our
network of thousands of campaigners around the world that are rising
up to fight the policies and decisions that people like Trump, Putin,
Kim Jong-Un, Modi, Netanyahu, and others are making.
As we're heading into a very crucial year for the campaign, I'd
like to thank you for your continued support for a world without
nuclear weapons.
With best wishes for the new year,
Beatrice
