Nuclear Weapons & Abolition 2000

Nuclear Weapons & Abolition 2000

by Missy Conrad
Wilton Meeting

 

74 years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, nuclear weapons are still around. They’re even being “modernized” at great expense, in spite of our nation’s promise to eliminate them. In 1995, a global network to abolish nuclear weapons was formed: Abolition 2000. We of the New York Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends/Quakers have been and are part of this network.
