Protest of US Obstruction of Disarmament Treaty

The Atlantic Life Community (ALC) is organizing a protest in New York City during the 3rd Meeting of the States Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Held at the United Nations from March 3-7, the meeting seeks to advance global nuclear disarmament, though nuclear armed states remain opposed. The ALC, along side the War Resisters League and Veterans for Peace, will protest the US Role in obstructing disarmament efforts. Catholic Worker communities are among the organizers. For more details contact Steve Baggarly of the Norfolk Catholic Worker at 757-423-5420.

This protest is on Ash Wednesday. Archbishop Wester will be offering evening mass on March 4 before he speaks to the United Nations on March 5.
