Three Things YOU Can Do Tomorrow to Help Nuclear Disarmament:

  1. Write a letter to your local MP asking Canada to sign onto the TPNW. The more we demand this happens, the more our government will feel the pressure to join the 40 states that have already signed this historic treaty. Find your local MP Here.

  2. Look into where you are invested. Visit dontbankonthebomb.com and see if in fact your bank invests in nuclear weapons. If they do, consider writing to them or switching banks to let them know this does not stand. 

  3. Talk to your friends, family, faith leaders, professors, anyone about nuclear weapons and creating a peaceful world. Use this link as a resource: https://www.icanw.org/why_a_ban
