Nuclear Disarmament Corporate Stance. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT
Nuclear Disarmament Corporate StanceThe Dominican Sisters of Springfield call upon the United
States government to lead the way for the global abolition of nuclear and all weapons of mass destruction by adopting a plan to lock down, reduce, and eliminate nuclear and all weapons of mass destruction.
We call for immediate development, adoption and implementation of a plan that will ensure that there will be no new nuclear weapons, no new materials for nuclear weapons, and no testing of nuclear weapons. We will work with all people of goodwill until there is no chance that a nuclear weapon or other weapon of mass destruction can come into the hands of anyone wishing to do harm.
