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.
“There is no way you can use even one nuclear weapon without becoming a victim yourself.”
“I salute ICAN for working with such commitment and creativity in pursuit of a nuclear-weapon-free world.”
“We can do it together. With your help, our voice will be made still stronger. Imagine peace.”
“Governments say that a nuclear weapons ban is unlikely. Don’t believe it. They told us the same thing about a mine ban treaty.”
“I support the work of ICAN. In what sort of world do we want our young ones to grow up?”
“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 am proud to support the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.”
“I can imagine a world without nuclear weapons, and I support ICAN.”
