From November 27th to December 1st, the Second Meeting of States Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons was held at the United Nations in New York City. After the sessions, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists announced that the proceedings provided a glimmer of hope in an otherwise dark nuclear landscape. Jan Haaken talks with Juliane Hauschulz about those glimmers of hope and the prospects for organizing around the abolition of nuclear weapons. Hauschulz is on the Executive Board of the German section of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) and a campaigner with the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), where she is responsible for the project "To Survive is to Resist".
