#NoPrideInBombs!

NYCAN stands with IQAN in opposing hate (and the bombs that advance hate), and in supporting the abolition of nuclear weapons (and the #nuclearban treaty that bans nuclear weapons)!

[IQAN @NoNukesQueers]

Yesterday we joined the Queer Liberation March in NYC. We stood with @GAGnoguns and thousands of others to demand abolition of the systems of militarization and discrimination that oppress us all. #NoPrideInBombs #DisarmHate #QueerLiberation #Pride2023 📷: @RCroonq + @achesonray

[Seth Shelden @SethShelden]

It was a privilege to deliver the keynote address at @Harvard's #HPAIR conference the other week. It was even more exciting to engage w/@hpairtweets students & delegates-I left convinced that heaps of brilliant young leaders are about to join the @nuclearban movement. #nuclearban

[NYCAN - New York City ICAN Partners @nycdivest]

NYCAN marched again in the St. Pat's for All🍀 parade yesterday, promoting the nexus of nuclear abolition☮️& diversity🏳️‍🌈, and asking @NYCSpeakerAdams & @NYCComptroller to work with @nycdivest to implement @NYCCouncil's historic #nuclearban legislation. 📸@SethShelden & @RCroonq

[IQAN @NoNukesQueers]

Today we hit the streets of Queens for the St. Pat's for All parade to call for nuclear abolition and urge @NYCCouncil to implement its legislation to divest from nuclear weapons. 🍀🏳️‍🌈☮️

Sunday’s Atomic Tales conference at NYU was a powerful and cogent exploration of those stories of nuclear harm that so many ignore. And it was so well organized! Congratulations and appreciation to @GardunoSab and @mays_smithwick, and to all those who participated. #nuclearban

[Eleanor #DCStatehood Holmes Norton @EleanorNorton]

My Nuclear Weapons Abolition and Economic and Energy Conversion Act requires the dismantling of nuclear weapons and would take us one step closer to that future.

#NuclearBan

[Seth Shelden @SethShelden]

One example - #TPNW laws and norms has spurred the #divestment of $63 billion from the 25 companies producing nuclear weapons.

Here we expose the 338 investors still backing those companies: https://t.co/7ZbUkDElyS #DontBankontheBomb #NuclearWeaponsAreBadBusiness

[Seth Shelden @SethShelden]

Did you watch that absurd PSA from @nycemergencymgt advising New Yorkers what to do if under nuclear attack? In this podcast from @NuclearHotseat (beginning at the 20:45 min. mark), Dr. Kathleen Sullivan and I speak for @nycdivest about why the PSA is bad, and what must be done.

[PSR Nuclear Weapons Abolition @PSRnuclear]

In case anyone was wondering what would ACTUALLY happen if there was a #NuclearAttack on NYC.

special thanks to @nycdivest!

[ICAN @nuclearban]

7/ It’s about time that @NYCMayor Adams and @NYCSpeakerAdams Adams worked with NYCAN @nycdivest to implement the advisory committee mandated under Int. 1621-A, which will further disarmament education and policy and avoid farcical missteps like this.

[Seth Shelden @SethShelden]

Today marks an incredible landmark in @nycdivest's 3+-year journey to ensure this legislation's success. We thank CMs @Dromm25s, @kallos, @HelenRosenthal, and the supermajority of CMs who voted yes. And @SpeakerCoJo for seeing it over the line.

[Seth Shelden @SethShelden]

the legislation also calls on NYC to divest from companies producing/maintaining nuclear weapons, and establishes a committee responsible for programming and policy related to NYC’s status as a nuclear-weapons-free zone. #nuclearfreenyc #ICANSave NYC
