We will join the call of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), winner of the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize, for a NO MONEY FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS International Week of Actions to bring attention to and speak out against the absurd sums of money wasted on nuclear weapons. The Nuclear Resister and Veterans for Peace are among the more than 600 ICAN partner organizations around the world.

It’s also Pace e Bene’s Campaign Nonviolence Week of Action.
 
In April, 2020 the Pentagon named Raytheon in Tucson as the sole-source contractor for a multi-billion dollar program to develop and produce the Long-Range Stand-Off (LRSO) missile, an all-new nuclear-armed cruise missile to be launched from the wings of warplanes. Production of this missile violates the spirit and letter of the 2017 United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which entered into force in January 2021.

There are 91.4 billion other things money could buy 

Nuclear weapons programmes divert public funds from health care, education, disaster relief and other vital services. The nuclear-armed countries spend more than $173,000 per minute on their nuclear bombs, over $90 billion each year. Meanwhile, the companies producing these weapons of mass destruction and their investors make billions in profit each year. That is why, from September 16 to 22, 2024 people all around the world are coming together with one clear message:  “No Money for Nuclear Weapons”.
