Getting to a Nuclear Weapons-Free World

Somerville Community Access Television chose the Massachusetts Disarmament Action Network (DAN)'s 1/2 hour television roundtable video, "Getting to a Nuclear Weapons-Free World," as one of three nominations for a "Best of 2009" award in the Informational category.

The video, featuring members of DAN discussing the past, present, and future of nuclear weapons, and how our groups are working for their global elimination, is available on the internet by linking to http://scatstaffvlog.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html.

The show was filmed and produced at Somerville Community Access Television and aired on this and other cable television stations throughout the month of May, 2009. During the first two weeks of May, the Preparatory Committee meeting on the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty took place at the United Nations. Many of the DAN member groups participated as NGOs in this important international event in New York.

DAN member groups include Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibility, Massachusetts Peace Action, 20/20 Vision, Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, Coalition for a Strong UN, American Friends Service Committee, and others including International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (PSR's international affiliate) in an advisory capacity.

The roundtable on nuclear weapons is part of a wider effort to educate people on the issues addressed by member organizations, including peace, justice and environmental degradation.
