Treaty Compliance Unit to Visit Bangor

December 13, 2018 @ 10:30 am - 3:30 pm

Please join us in welcoming Timmon Milne Wallis and Vicki Elson of the Treaty Compliance Campaign to Ground Zero Center on Thursday, December 13th.

Tim and Vicki will give us an overview of the Treaty Compliance Campaign, which is about getting individuals, businesses, faith communities, schools, organizations, cities and states to work towards ‘complying’ with the Nuclear Ban Treaty by disconnecting – as far as possible – from the nuclear weapons industry. They are calling this “Treaty Alignment”. While only the government can bring the US into full compliance with the Nuclear Ban Treaty by ratifying the treaty and dismantling our nuclear weapons arsenal, everybody in this country can work to align themselves and their communities with the Treaty and shift the political and cultural tide in favor of nuclear abolition. This will put pressure on the nuclear weapons industry and eventually force the federal government to implement the Treaty.

After a potluck lunch, participants will join Tim and Vicki for a short trip to the Main Gate to Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor, where the Citizen Inspection Team will read the Nuclear Ban Treaty and deliver notice to the Base that it is engaged in activities PROHIBITED by the 2017 Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

If you can join us, please RSVP by email to outreach@gzcenter.org, and bring an item for our potluck lunch.
