Ban Bomb Day event at the New Brighton Pier, 9am, on January 22nd, 2021
January 22nd, 2021, marks the first day the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) Enters into Force and becomes international law. Aotearoa NZ is one of the first countries to welcome in the new day, and the new dawn for nuclear disarmament. Proud nuclear free Kiwis will be gathering at the beach with banners and music to celebrate this momentous achievement and will kick start the global social media wave celebrating the milestone. We join over 50 other nations across the world who have vowed to Ban the Bomb by ratifying this Treaty. Celebrations are happening in over 85 countries across the globe. The celebration at New Brighton is being filmed and will be the opening sequence for the global livestream hosted by the International Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons (ICAN).
