As the world celebrates the 55th anniversary of Earth Day, Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA) is co-sponsoring a webinar – The Intersection of Climate, Nuclear Weapons, and Peace.
On April 22, the free webinar co-sponsored by CFPA takes place from 7-8:30 p.m. through Zoom.
“Our co-sponsorship is part of CFPA’s No Wars, No Warming Campaign, and I will be among the presenters to present the intersection between dealing with the Climate Emergency and the rapidly increasing Nuclear Weapons Threat,” said Rev. Robert Moore, executive director of CFPA.
Presenters for the webinar are Moore, Rev. Vernon Walker, Pennsylvania State Rep. Chris Rabb, and Christiaan Morssink, interim president of United Nations Association of Greater Philadelphia (UNA-GP).
