Dr Ira Helfand – the co-president of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, which founded ICAN in 2006 – explains the medical and environmental consequences of the use of nuclear weapons, and urges the public to take action for their elimination.
“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.”
