Every minute one person is killed as a result of armed violence! Thats three people by the time you finish reading this petition. One thousand five hundred by the end of the day, equivalent of wiping out more than double the population of Wolverhampton every year!
These deaths are a consequence of an arms trade that is out of control.
This July, world leaders will meet in New York to draw up the first ever international arms trade treaty.This treaty could save countless lives and help prevent human rights abuses across the world . We have JUST ONE SHOT to get it right.
Call on your MP and world leaders to support a strong and comprehensive arms trade treaty NOW!
