October 16, 8pm

The movement against nuclear weapons is at least as old as the weapons themselves. The movement had huge impacts during the Cold War, with massive popular demonstrations and a high degree of public awareness of the issue. Today, there is a persistent, increasingly vibrant movement – using a range of approaches – to reduce the dangers posed by nuclear weapons. This teach-in invites experts and advocates with a diverse range of experiences, strategies, and analyses of the current political environment to talk about their work, their commitment to working on arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament issues, and their view of the future of the movement.

Speakers will include Norman Solomon, National Director of RootsAction and Executive Director of the Institute for Public Accuracy; Jessica Sleight, Research and Strategy Consultant; and Seth Shelden, General Counsel and UN Liaison for the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.
