NYCAN - New York City ICAN Partners

Excellent statement by @SethShelden of @nuclearban on the imperative of #TPNW, reminding the #FirstCommittee delegates of the message of hibakusha. #NobelPeacePrize

Today's article in @BulletinAtomic by @politicalmines and Dr. Kathleen Sullivan traces @nycdivest's work to map NYC's nuclear legacy and to fulfill the promise of the powerful NYC legislation that #NYCAN helped realize: thebulletin.org/premium/2024-0…

#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)!

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 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

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. 🍀🏳️‍🌈☮️ For more info: icanw.org/new_york_city_… #NuclearBan #NoPrideInBombs 📷: @SethShelden

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

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

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: icanw.org/63_billion_usd… #DontBankontheBomb #NuclearWeaponsAreBadBusiness

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.

In case anyone was wondering what would ACTUALLY happen if there was a #NuclearAttack on NYC. special thanks to @nycdivest! vimeo.com/730868123

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. icanw.org/new_york_city_…

“🌹ROSES to 🇺🇳MISSIONS” action, rally & march in NYC 🗽🌇, to mark 1st anniversary of the entry into force of #NuclearBan #tpnw Treaty. Roses to Missions action is co-organized by @PeaceActionNY @mpnuclearfree @ReverseTT_ @nycdivest etc. #nonukes

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.

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
