Think Global Act Local : Honouring ICAN initiators in Preston


Listen Later

On Tuesday 16th April, the Darebin Council launched a mural at the Preston Library to honour two Preston-based co-founders of the Nobel Peace Prize winning International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), Dimity Hawkins and Dave Sweeney.The mural was created as ‘an enduring inspiration for active citizenship on local and global issues’.  It features a portrait of the late Yami Lester, and continues the important work of sharing the stories of survivors of atomic testing and their central role in the global movement for nuclear disarmament.As you’ll hear from the excerpts of speeches and interviews with those attending the mural launch, it was a wonderful local event that wove together many interconnected stories of radioactive resistance. To call on your local council to support the nuclear weapon ban treaty go to www.icanw.org/au/cities.
