Join us to Count the Nuclear Weapons Money, New York: October 24-30 2019.
One trillion dollars
We're showing the scale
while governments meet at the United Nations
for United Nations Disarmament Week and the UN General Assembly, Oct 24-30, 2019.
We’re counting the money by hand
$100 million per minute in $1million dollar notes, and symbolically re-allocating these to climate protection, poverty alleviation and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Counting is taking 7 days and nights.
You can help!
Count the nuclear weapons money for ten minutes, half an hour or more, and decide where you would like this money to be invested instead of nuclear weapons.
Counting at the ‘Hub’
The main counting takes place at the Count the Nuclear Weapons Money Hub, 504 West 22nd Street at 10th Ave, Chelsea, New York City. Counting starts on Thursday Oct 24 at 1pm and continues until Wednesday Oct 30 at 7pm. Join us there at any time.
Other countings
are taking place in London (UK), New Mexico, Philadelphia and Wellington (New Zealand). There will also be short countings at other locations in Manhattan. Click here for details.
The event is being streamed online
with videos of those counting the money and short interviews, so that you can follow the counting even if you can’t join us in New York or at one of the other locations. Click here for videos (posted on Youtube). Click here for photos, blogs etc (posted on Facebook).
