Cities and towns have a crucial role to play in rejecting the use of nuclear weapons

Nuclear weapons target cities and civilians. A single nuclear weapon can destroy a city and kill most of its people. Several nuclear explosions over modern cities would kill tens of millions of people. All over the world cities are rejecting this threat, and calling for urgent action.

The ICAN Cities Appeal is a global call from cities and towns in support of the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

All national governments are now invited to sign and ratify this crucial global agreement, which prohibits the use, production and stockpiling of nuclear weapons and lays the foundations for their total elimination. 

Your local council join with hunderds of councils across the worl who support the Nuclear Weapon Ban treaty, by passing a motion calling on the Australian Government to join it.

Your city/town can endorse the ICAN Cities Appeal by passing this simple motion

That council:

a) Notes that our city/town is deeply concerned about the grave threat that nuclear weapons pose to communities throughout the world. We firmly believe that our residents have the right to live in a world free from this threat. 

b) Notes that any use of nuclear weapons, whether deliberate or accidental, would have catastrophic, far‐reaching and long‐lasting consequences for people and the environment.

c) Endorses the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons Cities Appeal, a global call from cities and towns in support of the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, and calls on our national government to sign and ratify it without delay.
