US Forum of Mayors: Local Practices to Promote World Peace

In this episode of Cooper UNion, Joshua Cooper speaks with Jackie Cabasso and John Burroughs — long-time nuclear disarmament advocates working through the Western States Legal Foundation, Lawyers Committee on Nuclear Policy, and global networks calling for the elimination of nuclear weapons. The conversation explores why nuclear abolition is not only an international security issue but also a human rights concern, highlighting the role of cities, communities, and civil society in demanding a safer future. From the legacy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to today’s rising nuclear risks, military spending, artificial intelligence, and international legal efforts, this episode reflects on decades of advocacy and the urgent need for renewed action toward a world free of nuclear weapons.Subscribe and follow to join future conversations with voices from across civil society, academia, diplomacy, social movements, and international institutions.* * *FOLLOW & CONNECT🌐 Website | 🎧 Spotify | 🍎 Apple Podcasts | ▶️ YouTube | 🦋 BlueSky | 💼 LinkedIn | 📸 InstagramFor collaboration, guest suggestions, or media inquiries: [email protected]* * *SUPPORTCooper UNion is an independent project.
