“Nuclear weapons, nuclear deterrence relies on the dehumanization of the other. It strips us of human dignity, and it takes away the brotherhood of all,”
@susisnyder, ICAN's Director of Programmes, for the @VaticanNews 👇

Few people in the world have had such a profound impact on the global good, so clearly, powerfully, kindly, and humbly as Dr. Ron McCoy. His vision inspired a movement of consciences dedicated to the abolition of nuclear weapons, @nuclearban.

Le testate atomiche nelle basi italiane si fondano sul "NATO nuclear sharing" sotto l'autorità esclusiva degli Stati Uniti. Come spiega Stefania Maurizi, l'Italia avrebbe la facoltà di chiederne la rimozione dal territorio, seguendo il precedente della Grecia.
