Ploughshares Fund will host a special conference on Thursday, October 26 at the Willard Hotel in downtown Washington, D.C. The event starts at 8:30 AM and concludes promptly at 3:30 PM. It will be livestreamed on Facebook here.
The conference will focus on three key nuclear issues facing the United States today: How can we prevent a new Korean War and stop North Korea’s nuclear missile programs? How can we preserve the nuclear agreement with Iran that rolled back that country’s nuclear program and prevented a war in the Middle East? How can we stop the new nuclear arms race and bring some sanity to our nuclear policies?
