The Divestment Working Group proposes a campaign for divestment of funds from corporations involved in nuclear weapons. The aim of the campaign is to urge divestment from companies manufacturing nuclear weapons or their parts, as well as to build economic and political pressure and serve as a base of public education on nuclear abolition issues. We are proposing this effort for the entire anti-war and anti-nuclear weapons movement. We must come together in a mass coalition, throwing our united energy into the campaign.
