The scope of this Doomsday investment by our country could lead to the most horrifying crime the U S has ever been party to. That’s some party! I pray that more sensible
minds, like those in Ross’s Nuclear Free New Zealand, will prevail in the campaign to abolish
this threat to our world.

I have been recently reading an article from my Environmental Policy class that focuses on how American media goes through an issue-attention cycle. Basically that issues often cycle through mass panic and heavy media coverage until it finally dribbles out of the public’s eye regardless of the actual recovered status of the issue (mad cow or acid rain for example) simply because nothing more exciting has happened. It’s a really old article actually from the 70 s but it totally applies to this day even more so.

with a prime focus on Prohibition and abolition of nuclear weapons.

You will be pleased to know that we are organising a speaking tour for Tim Wright -ICAN Director of Asia Pacific to talk about the Humanitarian Pledge to Ban Nuclear Weapons.

The NZ Peace Foundation is writing letters to our government to push this forward. We are also arranging highschool and university meetings for Hiroshima Peace Week to regenerate public awareness that NZ still needs to do more to help humanity establish a world free of nuclear weapons and fulfil its role as a peacemaker nation.

Laurie Ross of Nuclear Free New Zealand
