Mayors for Peace is an international organisation bringing local representatives from across the world together to call for a world without nuclear weapons.
On June 24, 1982, at the United Nations headquarters in New York, then Mayor Takeshi Araki of Hiroshima called for cities throughout the world to transcend national borders and join in solidarity to work together to press for nuclear abolition. Subsequently, the Cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki established ‘The World Conference of Mayors for Peace through Inter-city Solidarity’ (now, Mayors for Peace), composed of mayors around the world who formally expressed support for this call.
Mayors for Peace continue to stand for a peaceful world free from the threat of nuclear weapons today and have representatives across the UK. Take a look at the list below and if you have a local Mayor who is supporting our shared cause, you may want to get in touch if you’re not already. Perhaps they could get involved with an upcoming event or action your group is organising? And are they supporting the Nuclear Ban Communities Campaign?
