Next steps to address the growing threat of nuclear war
Dr. Ira Helfand spoke Saturday, July 11 at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Columbus, hosted by the Columbus Free Press at our Second Saturday Salon on “Back from the Brink: Addressing the growing threat of nuclear war.”
Ira Helfand represents the national organization “Back from the Brink” that is spreading the message around the country that there are tangible steps the nation can take right now to reform our nuclear weapons policy and reduce the threat of nuclear war. Helfand is a Harvard-educated physician, co-founder and past President of Physicians for Social Responsibility. And founder the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons. Both groups were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Central Ohio area US House Congresswoman Joyce Beatty has not yet signed on the the Back from the Brink resolution for nuclear weapon disarmament.
H. Res. 317 in the House urges the United States to lead a global effort to prevent nuclear war by actively pursuing a verifiable agreement among nuclear-armed states to eliminate their nuclear arsenals.
