SUMMARY:Nuclear Weapons still threaten us all TODAY! What can we do about it?
DESCRIPTION:Lauren Muir \nOn Saturday 12th July 2025\, Warwick District UN Association is honoured and delighted to welcome UNA-UK’s Policy & Outreach Officer and support officer for UK All Party Parliamentary Group on UN\, Lauren Muire\, who will address the meeting in person on the subject: \nNuclear Weapons still threaten us all TODAY! What can we do about it? \nThe meeting will be held from 12:30 pm to 1:45 pm at the Leamington Spa Baptist Church\, Chandos Street\, Leamington Spa\, CV32 4RN. \nThis will be a hybrid meeting both in-person and on-line. \nJoin Zoom Meeting by following this link. Meeting ID: 876 9872 0938\, Passcode: 178541. \nBACKGROUND\nEighty years after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki\, the threat of nuclear weapons has not gone away – it has evolved. \nThe United Nations & the UN Association have long championed nuclear disarmament\, working to reduce the catastrophic risks these weapons pose to humanity. In today’s increasingly unstable global climate\, marked by open threats\, rising tensions\, and a renewed reliance on nuclear deterrence\, this mission is more urgent than ever. \nJoin us for a special meeting of the Warwick District United Nations Association as we welcome Lauren Muir\, Policy & Outreach Officer at UNA-UK. Lauren leads UNA-UK’s work on nuclear disarmament and supports the All-Party Parliamentary Group on the United Nations. \nLAUREN WILL SPEAK ABOUT\n\nThe current & future nuclear weapons landscape\nUNA-UK’s disarmament work & campaigning strategy\nWhat practical steps we can take – as individuals & communities – to influence UK policy & global attitudes\n\nWHY THIS MATTERS\nAs more countries enhance or expand their nuclear arsenals\, the possibility of use – by design\, miscalculation\, or accident – becomes disturbingly plausible. This is not just a foreign policy issue; it’s an existential challenge! \nA second deeply concerning development is well illustrated by the open threats made by Russia to use nuclear weapons in the conflict it triggered through its unlawful & inhumane invasion of Ukraine. \nABOUT OUR SPEAKER\nLauren joined UNA-UK in 2020 and plays a central role in shaping its nuclear policy work. With a background in Geopolitics & Security\, she brings both academic depth and frontline advocacy experience. Her role connects citizens and campaigners with decision-makers in Parliament. \nMEETING SCHEDULE\nTea/Coffee/ biscuits will be provided. Feel free to bring your own lunch. \n12:15 pm – Church hall open for tea/coffee/biscuits and also for those who will join online Zoom. \n12:30 pm – Meeting starts promptly \n13:45 pm – Meeting close \n14:00 pm – Clear and vacate the hall
