Cities are Not Targets: A Petition for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons

United Nations, New York, March 2011 - Mayor for Peace has assembled the Cities are Not Targets (CANT) petition calling for the abolition of nuclear weapons. This petition, with over one million signatures from people all over the world, is now on display at the General Assembly Hall of the United Nations Headquarters in New York. It is displayed as an artistic installation consisting of two three-meter towers of stacked papers containing the petition signatures. This video, produced to accompany the installation, tells the story of Mayors for Peace, the CANT petition, and underscores the important role of civil society in nuclear disarmament.

@mustanggundam it's on permanent display at the UN in NYC which gets one million visitors a year, so maybe in 30 years it will catch up :-/

I know you all mean well, but the UN Is so out of proportion and in desperate need of reformation, but what you are trying to accomplish is completly impossible; Peace being more Impossoble!!!!

Sharing will create justice. Justice will create peace. Peace will create a new world for all.
