There will be numerous events happening in New York in May, related to the UN Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference. About 100 Hibakusha (a-bomb survivors) will be there to call for nuclear abolition.
Vancouver Save Article 9 is one of the endorsing organizations of the NGO Conference in New York "Disarm! Now," which will take place on April 30 and May 1 at Riverside Church, New York.
