We’re thrilled that everything is falling into place for Saturday’s 
World Conference for nuclear weapons abolition, peace, the climate, 
social and economic justice. As you’ll see from the attached agenda, 
we’ll have an exceptional array of speakers from Japan to Germany and 
from New York to Iran and Australia!

We are near full capacity for the conference itself (841 of 1,000 slots 
have been claimed.)  Registration remains open at
