Registration opens for International Conference on Nuclear Weapons in NYC
Registration has opened for the International Conference, which will focus on eliminating nuclear weapons and addressing related nuclear issues. The conference will be held in New York City on April 30 and May 1st to coincide with the official report to the United Nations monitoring the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
The conference at Riverside Church features speakers from around the world and opportunities for workshops in four areas: nuclear weapons abolition, peace, environmental sustainability, and economic justice.
The registration fee is $30 per person (students with ID, $20). Early registration is encouraged. See the attached registration form available as a downloadable form. Space is limited to 800 to 1000 attendees.
The Fellowship of Reconciliation USA is coordinating accomodations for out of town attendees, on a first-come first serve basis. New York area FORers and friends are offering accomodations (including sofas) while many houses of worship and faith based communities are offering social halls for those with sleeping bags and bedrolls. For more information, contact preston@forpeace.net or communications@forusa.org.
In addition to the conference at Riverside Church on April 30 and May 1st, related activities are planned in New York City, including an Interfaith Convocation on Sunday, May 2nd, followed by a Rally and March to the United Nations.
