Dear Friend --

This year, people all over the world realised that nuclear weapons are an urgent threat. Now it’s time for our campaign to show up on the streets. Today we are launching a new Rapid Action Fund, so our partner organisations in 110 countries can apply for funds to carry out direct actions, public stunts and disrupt the status quo to promote the TPNW and nuclear disarmament.

We need to raise 50,000 CHF for this fund to power a series of stunts and rapid actions around the world in 2023. Will you contribute?

Yes, I'll Donate

The renewed attention and fear of nuclear war creates an opening for ICAN campaigners around the world to put unprecedented pressure on nuclear armed and nuclear supporting states to change course. To do that, we need to add more visible public pressure to our already strong advocacy and political work.

The rapid action fund will enable ICAN partners to respond quickly and publicly when there is an opportunity, such as a spike in concern over a nuclear threat, dual-capable fighter jets being moved around, a government statement on nuclear weapons, or any other opening to make nuclear weapons the central issue. The fund will enable activists around the world to produce and print bold banners and materials, bring in eye-catching props, hire a photographer or professional support to help our partners reach local media, and much more.

A dedicated fund will help activists move quickly when a key moment comes up. Will you help us make those actions a reality?

I know that in times like this it can be hard to feel like any individual action will meet the scale of the threat we face. At ICAN, we see how all those individual advocacy efforts, protests, speeches, artistic expressions and more add up to a powerful collective voice against nuclear weapons. Now we need to add the visual, public pressure now to make decision-makers change. We really need your help to strengthen this part of our work, and to support local activists around the world to make their voices heard. We hope you will be part of it. 

Thank you for all that you do,

Beatrice Fihn
Executive Director

It’s time to end nuclear weapons.
