Dear Friend,
December is a month of reflection, of looking back at what we have
achieved over the past year and the lessons learned. Throughout 2025,
nuclear weapons made headlines in global news. Nuclear posturing,
testing of delivery systems and record-high spending on nuclear
weapons depict a bleak picture and could leave us feeling hopeless.
|
Happily, this wasn’t
the only nuclear-related news of the past year. Across the planet
thousands of communities came together to commemorate the first uses
of nuclear weapons - the more than 80 years of nuclear harm - and
demand an end to these weapons for good. Cities representing more than
30% of their national populations in Australia, Germany, Greece,
Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, and Spain called on their governments to
join the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), taking
the lead in demanding that nuclear weapons be eliminated. This in
turn, strengthens and empowers the thousands of parliamentarians who
have pledged to take action and demand that their governments put an
end to nuclear weapons forever. |

Your support has
helped us share the story of Terumi
Tanaka with NY Times readers, it has enabled us to illustrate the
road
to a world without nuclear weapons, and build a global community
of resistance. Every donation, no matter how big or how small, helps
us move closer to the world we want. |
|
The countries behind the TPNW are now the global majority and we
are working together to implement our plan to achieve the total
elimination of nuclear weapons. And this has a very concrete impact:
the pro-nuclear countries are now in the hot seat of the global
community. They feel the pressure from their trading partners, their
diplomatic allies, their cities, elected officials and their citizens.
We have the power and a clear plan for next year. Will
you help us?
Thank you for your support,
Melissa Parke
