Full Synopsis
With so much at stake, from climate change and reproductive rights to threats from weapons of mass destruction and police brutality, the last decade has seen ordinary people take to the streets to challenge and change the way our governments and institutions legislate our future. Movements like #BlackLivesMatter and #MeToo have had an incredible impact on public understandings and political commitments, showing the meaningful change that social movements and popular resistance can have on our world.

The story in this book offers a look inside the antinuclear movement and its recent successful campaign to ban the bomb. Ray Acheson narrates the journey of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons—from scrappy organizing to winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017 and achieving a landmark UN treaty banning nuclear weapons—and developments in feminist disarmament activism.
