Join the NoFirstUse Global social media campaign

Dear Friends,

On July 15, a new and exciting initiative NoFirstUse Global was launched by organizations/networks from a mix of nuclear armed, allied and non-nuclear

countries.

NoFirstUse Global has the objective to achieve the adoption and implementation

of nuclear weapons no-first-use policies (NFU) as measures to prevent nuclear

war and help achieve a nuclear weapon free world.

NoFirstUse Global includes actions, events, blog articles, examples of legislative

action and other resources about no-first-use policies and campaigns/actions for

their achievement. One interesting section is Why No-First-Use which addresses

questions and mis-conceptions about NFU.

At the launch event NoFirstUse Global kicked off 'Don't even think about starting

a nuclear war', a social media action that can be taken around the world, and

especially in capital cities. 

Don't even THINK about starting a nuclear war!

'Don't even THINK about starting a nuclear war' signs in front of the US, Russian and British embassies in Prague.

Join the social media action:


Take a photo of yourself and/or a colleague holding a sign ?Don?t even think

about starting a nuclear war? outside the embassies or consulates of nuclear

armed states ? in particular China, France, Russia, the UK and the USA to share

on social media.

These countries have a special responsibility to prevent nuclear war as they are

the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and they are the five

nuclear-armed states that are parties to the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Take-off of no parking sign


The sign is a take-off of the no-parking sign ?Don?t even think about parking here?.

It indicates that the nuclear armed states should adhere to international law prohibiting the threat and use of nuclear weapons, just as drivers should adhere to laws about parking.
