In June 2010, ICAN held its first global day of action for a ban on nuclear weapons. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon sent us this message of support, in which he says: “Greetings from one of your strongest supporters … The movement to abolish nuclear weapons is on the right side of history. We will continue to fight for this great cause.” More than 50 actions took place in 25 countries.
“Let’s act up! Ban nuclear weapons completely and unconditionally.”
“If Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr were alive today, they would be part of ICAN.”
“I salute ICAN for working with such commitment and creativity.”
“We can do it together. With your help, our voice will be made still stronger. Imagine peace.”
“Governments say a nuclear weapons ban is unlikely. Don’t believe it. They said the same about a mine ban treaty.”
“With your support, we can take ICAN its full distance – all the way to zero nuclear weapons.”
“Because I cannot tolerate these appalling weapons, I whole-heartedly support ICAN.”
“I can imagine a world without nuclear weapons, and I support ICAN.”
