MAY 1st MARCH AND RALLY TO DEMAND NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT NOW!

On May 1st people from all over the world will gather in New York City for a massive march and rally to demand total and immediate nuclear disarmament.

The May 1st demonstration will precede a month-long meeting of world governments at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City to discuss the fate of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, a treaty in which nuclear weapons states – United States, United Kingdom, Russia, China, and France agreed to eliminate their nuclear weapons arsenals.

The Bush administration continues to manipulate the treaty by vehemently demanding disarmament from other countries, while expanding US production and development of nuclear weapons. US used nuclear weapons as an excuse for war in Iraq. Will North Korea and Iran be next?

United in our opposition to the growing threat of nuclear war, and the use of nuclear weapons as a pretext for war, we must mobilize now and demand the full and rapid implementation of the promise for nuclear disarmament.

We'll be joined by a delegation of mayors from around the world, as they deliver the call for nuclear disarmament, on behalf of millions of people, to the United Nations. Mayors will lead marches to the rally site on May 1st. Join a mayor from your region in a march on May 1st.

May 1st rally site will be determined shortly. Permits were filed for the Great Lawn in Central Park and are pending approval. For more information on May 1st and to join the planning efforts, please sign up for the MayDay2005 listserve, send e-mail to MayDay2005-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
