Women of the World Call for Peace Now

Nobel Women's Initiative
Dear Mairead, I am excited to share the recording for Women of the World Call for Peace Now, where we were joined by a remarkable group of women dedicated to peace and transforming our nuclear legacy. Deep bows of gratitude to our extraordinary speakers, Nobel Peace Laureate Mairead Maguire, Ambassador Elayne Whyte Gomez and Dr. Paula Garb.
