​Joanne Dufour, an anti-nuclear weapons educator, brings us a message of hope as we face humanity's greatest challenge.

 

She is a trainer in International Humanitarian law for the Red Cross and has the Disarming Our Planet blog.

 

Today China, Russia and the US are rattling the sabers of new arms races - yielding big profits for corporate bomb makers but threatening the very life of humanity.

 

Instead of U.S. government policies protecting the people, they've protected the corporations that have led us down a disastrous path that is already killing thousands of people from Marshall Islanders and other bomb test victims, to radiation burn victims, downwinders, and many more.

 

All this is being done with your tax dollars, and you hold the key to stopping it!

 

Joanne talks about how you can be a part of a movement to use smart actions to reduce the danger. Most importantly you can help get the money out of bomb-making - encouraging your universities, pension funds and banks to divest from bomb-makers - and other ways we, the people, can join with the overwhelming majority of nations to enforce the Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty.
