130+ cities step up financial support for 2020 Vision Campaign
April 29, 2009
A growing number of City Councils pass a resolution to show concrete support of the 2020 Vision Campaign by committing to a contribution of €0,025/inhibitant/year up to and inlcuding 2020. We now count financial contributions from over 130 cities towards the elimination of nuclear weapons by 2020.
In 2009 we plan to match the financial contribution of the Cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, who on average contribute 250,000 Euro annually towards the 2020 Vision Campaign. Most cities contribute 0,025€/inhabitant/year and a recently most often all the way till 2020. Although the campaign is making real progress since the launch of the "Hiroshima - Nagasaki Protocol", it is disturbing to note that over 2.000 member cities have not yet done their part towards matching the financial contributions of the Cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. So, please help and table a resolution in your City Council as soon as possible. You can find a draft in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. In this table you'll be able to see a growing number of commitments all the way up to the year 2020.Help us get your council pass a similar resolution.
