Dear Friend of IPPNW Canada,
On 22 January 2021 the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) entered into force making nuclear weapons illegal.
Congratulations! It is your support and commitment that brought us to this point- an international treaty that prohibits the use, the threat of use, possession, and development of nuclear weapons. From the dedicated campaigning of the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to the peace marches around the world, from letter-writing campaigns to online petitions- every voice, every step, and every signature helped make the TPNW international law.
Canada, along with nuclear-armed states and their allies have not signed or ratified the TPNW. IPPNWC is focused on getting Canada to join the Treaty and we will continue to work with our supporters and other peace groups to make this happen.
Please act now for the TPNW in Canada:
IPPNWC’s Dr. Nancy Covington in Halifax initiated the House of Commons petition e-3028, a call on the Government of Canada to accede to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons- there is still time to join with 1500 who have already made their voices heard.
https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-3028
Deadline: 6 February 2021 @ 2:00 PM EST
IPPNWC has an exciting year ahead of us and you are invited to participate- join our monthly Active Members Meetings for excellent speakers and updates, feel energized by IPPNWC’s student group and help bring the TPNW to Canada.
In peace,
Vinay Jindal, MD
Acting-president, IPPNWC
for Jonathan Down, MD
President, IPPNWC
