WE CAN Change the World 2017 Annual Report // Volume 28 28 // Volume 2017 Annual Report We Can Change the World

Abolishing nuclear weapons is one of the greatest challenges of our time, but it is not impossible. It demands “political will” by leaders of the nuclear-armed countries, which currently is sadly lacking. To achieve this political will, the people must awaken and demand it of their leaders. At the Nuclear Age Foundation, we believe the nuclear dangers of our time must be met with the engagement and resistance of people everywhere, demanding an end to war by means of teaching Peace Literacy and demanding an end to the Nuclear Age by means of negotiating the abolition of nuclear weapons. The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, adopted in 2017, provides a framework for the complete elimination of nuclear weapons. I am proud that NAPF played an important role in these negotiations. Bringing this treaty into force will be a significant step in a decades-long effort to ensure that the laws of war are followed and the indiscriminate destruction and unnecessary suffering caused by nuclear weapons is prevented forever. No matter how difficult and seemingly Sisyphean the task, we must never give up. At NAPF, we will continue to accept the challenge, and provide leadership in educating, advocating, organizing and inspiring to meet it. We will never give up until we realize the goals of Peace Literacy and a Nuclear Zero world. On December 10, 2017, the was awarded to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), a campaign in which NAPF has been a partner organization from its inception. This important award was given for the campaign’s work to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition on such weapons. This Nobel Peace Prize, which we are proud to share in, is a sign that, working together, we can indeed change the world.

Last Book Read: The last fiction book I read wasReady Player One. It will not be fiction for much longer. Your favorite news anchor? I get news filtered through friends on Facebook for better or worse. But the odd time I watch network news I find Rachel Maddow to be on top of ALL THE THINGS, with analyses that are almost never wrong. How did you get involved with NAPF? A colleague I admire invited Paul Chappell to give a lecture in Corvallis just after the 2016 Presidential election. I was curious about the notion of peace as a skill set. He had me at the Fork Story. If you haven’t heard Paul tell the Fork Story you need to do that ASAP. If the world was more peace literate, there would be no need for nuclear weapons.

FRANK BOGNAR Home: Ventura, California Last Book Read: The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner by Daniel Ellsberg Your favorite news anchor: Rachel Maddow for her inquisitive probing of stories, and her brilliance in putting pieces of the political puzzles together. I think Edward R. Morrow would be in awe of her. How did you get involved with NAPF? I’ve studied the issue of nuclear danger for over fifty years, and recognize its peril is closer than any of us wish to acknowledge. The Foundation is a vital organization that effects change in places like the United Nations, the Vatican and the World Court. Its presence plays a vital role in creating a nuclear weapons-free world. Its Peace Literacy program is one of the most important discoveries for peace in the last five decades.
