Dr. David Hall Emerging Leaders in Nuclear Weapons Abolition Program

The threat of nuclear weapons is rising, and we need the activists, organizers, and leaders of the future to be ready to confront this threat. In 2024, a longtime advocate for peace and the abolition of nuclear weapons, Dr. David Hall, passed away after a long battle with cancer. Dave never gave up on this cause, and believed strongly in the need for the next generation to become advocates for abolition. We aim to honor his legacy with this program.
