Mayors for Peace, a conference of cities established in 1982, seeks to eliminate nuclear weapons and build world peace through various activities. Membership in this conference exceeded 5,000 city members on 16 September 2011. On May 1 membership stands at 5,238.
After passing 4,000 members on 1 July 2010, over one thousand additional cities have joined in the year and two months since, expanding the circle of solidarity for non-proliferation of nuclear weapons into ever more regions of the world.
Mayors for Peace will continue to grow and nurture cooperation among cities, creating strong local networks while promoting global unity.
