DESCRIPTION:Why:    Raise awareness of current United Nations General Assembly 
 nuclear weapons ban treaty negotiations\n\nThis local action is part of the 
 Women's International League for Peace and Freedom - San Jose Branch's 
 support of the Women's March to Ban the Bomb, happening the same day in New 
 York City.  Rallies and marches around the U.S. and the world will focus 
 on the June 15 - July 7 United Nations General Assembly conference in NYC 
 -- to negotiate a legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons, 
 leading towards their total elimination.\n\nThere are nearly 15,000 nuclear 
 weapons in current stockpiles, enough to destroy human civilization.  Most 
 nuclear weapons are in United States and Russian arsenals.  The 
 less-powerful atom bombs dropped in 1945 on Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed 
 hundreds of thousands. Most casualties were civilians.  The longterm 
 aftermath of nuclear bomb explosions contaminates the atmosphere and the 
 earth and causes genetic damage.\nVisuals:  Large sign with mushroom cloud 
 with red X superimposed on it, plus www.ICANW.org URL - visible from 
 passing vehicles at busy intersection, plus smaller signs\n\nNote:  San 
 Francisco and Palo Alto will also have activities at noon on Saturday 6/17 
 relating to the UNGA negotiations.  See (incomplete) listings of those and 
 other events on the WomenBantheBomb.org website.\n\nMore info:
