SUMMARY:Seek Peace and Pursue It: Advocating for Nuclear Abolition in 2025
DESCRIPTION:Join us at this webinar to learn more about the United Methodist Church’s position on nuclear weapons\, hear from civil society and faith partners\, and discover how you can get involved in the movement for nuclear abolition. \nThe new year brings a sobering reminder: nuclear weapons continue to threaten all of creation. With key milestones on the horizon\, it’s more crucial than ever to take meaningful action toward a world free of nuclear weapons. \n\nJanuary 22: 4th anniversary of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons entering into force\nJanuary 28: Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists set the Doomsday Clock at 89 seconds to midnight – the closest it’s ever been to midnight\nFebruary 4: One year until the expiration of New START\, the last remaining US-Russia nuclear arms control treaty\nMarch 3-7: 3rd meeting of States Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons at the United Nations in New York.\n\nAs the United Methodist Church has long affirmed\, nuclear weapons make war more likely and far more deadly. The Council of Bishops has made it clear: “We say a clear and unconditional NO to nuclear wear and to any use of nuclear weapons.” (In Defense of Creation\, 1986) \nIt is up to us to work toward the abolition of nuclear weapons. \nJoin us at this webinar to learn more about the United Methodist Church’s position on nuclear weapons\, hear from civil society and faith partners\, and discover how you can get involved in the movement for nuclear abolition. Whether you’re already involved or looking to learn more\, this webinar will provide you with the knowledge and tools to make a difference. \nDate: February 26\, 2025   Time: 1-2:30 PM EST \nPanelists \nModerator: Aimee Hong\, Assistant General Secretary of Programs\, General Board of Church and Society\, UMC \nSpeaker #1: Colleen Moore\, Director of Peace with Justice\, General Board of Church and Society\, UMC \nSpeaker #2: Allen Hester\, Legislative Representative\, Nuclear Disarmament and Pentagon Spending\, Friends Committee on National Legislation \nSpeaker #3: Maylene Hughes\, Regional Grassroots Organizing and Policy Coordinator\, Back from the Brink \nRegister Here\n
