The Wonderful Work of IPPNW

Many of you know that for a while, I have been involved as a volunteer with the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), a Boston-headquartered global association of doctors, medical professionals and med students concerned about the long-term and health consequences of nuclear explosions. I'd like to take a quick moment to publicly laud their untiring efforts as they continue to work with other like-minded individuals and organizations to champion a worthy cause and work towards global nuclear disarmament. President Obama, in his address to the nation on 11/30, reaffirmed his pledge:

... to secure loose nuclear materials from terrorists, to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, and to pursue the goal of a world without them -- because every nation must understand that true security will never come from an endless race for ever more destructive weapons; true security will come for those who reject them.

IPPNW has been advocating the exact same goal for many years now. In fact, it was the organization's groundbreaking work and relentless pursuit of a peaceful future that earned it a Nobel Peace Prize in 1985.

I am proud to be associated with the folks at IPPNW and all for which they stand. Check out the organization, stay up-to-date on new blog posts from guest writers, and learn more about the organization's nuclear disarmament campaign by following IPPNW on Twitter.

And if you see any posts that end in RL ... well.
