Dear
Friend --
With nuclear-risk at an all time high, we are strengthening
ties between communities into an unstoppable movement against nuclear
weapons. That’s why at ICAN, we love to create different spaces for
people from around the world to come together. We have two exciting
events coming up soon, and want you to join us.
The
ICAN Act on It Forum will take place in
Oslo next week, on March 9 and 10. There are just a few tickets
left for this exciting event we’re co-hosting with ICAN
Norway. The Forum features workshops, speakers, panels and discussions
about how we can abolish nuclear weapons, and of course, plenty of
opportunities to plot how we’ll get nuclear-armed and
nuclear-complicit states to end nuclear weapons. We’ll also be getting
together at the iconic Oslo City Hall- where the Nobel Peace Prize
Ceremony happens each year. You can find the programme here!
This email is also the last call for the
Hiroshima G7 Youth Summit; the deadline for
applications closes Monday, March 6th! This Summit is a
once in a lifetime opportunity to visit Hiroshima, meet with
survivors, learn about the humanitarian consequences of nuclear
weapons and work together to influence the position of governments and
connect with others in advance of the G7 summit.
This ICAN summit, hosted and co-organised by The
Center for Peace, Hiroshima University, is open to all young people
eager to advance efforts for a world without nuclear weapons and will
take place 25 - 27 April in Hiroshima. But to make sure we have time
to plan and sort out travel and sponsorship, applications close next
Monday! So will you apply, or send this information to the young
people in your life who should participate at either event?
Of course, we do know that travel can still be complicated in
the post-COVID era and from a carbon-footprint perspective, so we will
give plenty of updates from both events through our social media. But
if you can make it in person, we’d love to see you there.
Hoping we'll see you in Oslo or Hiroshima,
Best,
Daniel Högsta
Interim Executive Director
ICAN
It’s time to end nuclear
weapons.
