Does your MP Support the ban treaty?
Over 1400 members of parliament from around the world have now signed up to ICAN’s Parliamentary Pledge, to promote the signing of the treaty within their parliaments. Sadly, as yet none of the Bradford MPs have pledged their support, this is surprising as some have been vocal on nuclear issues. Below you can see how Bradford compares to other Yorkshire Cities (it’s not great so far), but don’t worry, we have a plan.
