This treaty is already making a difference!
The Nobel Peace Prize-winning Nuclear Ban Treaty outlaws everything to do with nuclear weapons in the countries that have ratified it. That means the companies that make and maintain nuclear weapons, along with their investors, suppliers and enablers, could be breaking the law in those countries.
Pressuring the Nuclear Weapons Profiteers
Here in the US, individuals, businesses, faith communities, colleges, cities and other entities can align themselves with the Nuclear Ban Treaty by also having nothing to do with nuclear weapons or the companies that make and maintain them.
Workshops and training
The Treaty Awareness Campaign runs live and virtual events to help any individuals or groups who want to align themselves with the Nuclear Ban Treaty by divesting, boycotting and stigmatizing the companies involved.

Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons
122 nations adopted the International Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons at the United Nations in New York on 7/7/17. It entered into force on 1/22/21. This Treaty finally and conclusively puts nuclear weapons into the same class of illegal and unacceptable weapons as chemical and biological weapons.
The United States does not want to sign this Treaty, but WE THE PEOPLE can demand that it does. We can put pressure on the profiteering companies who are holding us back from joining the rest of the world in addressing this existential threat to the whole planet.
