On July 17 at 4pm ET / 1pm PT Franciscan Action Network hosted a special informational webinar: “Nuclear Weapons: What you don’t know can hurt you.”
As Franciscans, we always seek ways to be peacemakers in a troubled world. In this one-hour webinar, we discussed: Which countries and conflicts present the greatest danger for nuclear warfare? What the global effects would be in the event of any use of nuclear weapons. What can be done to show my concern?
The event was recorded and can be viewed below or on YouTube.
