GC45 WF22: PM03 Arms Embargo Now Signatory for Summer 2025

Of the groups who discussed PM03 all were in favour of the United Church of Canada becoming a signatory for the Arms Embargo Now call. 

Upon further consultation with staff, it was discovered that the United Church of Canada became a signatory to the Arms Embargo Now call in August of 2024. 

Therefore, the Way Forward Team proposes: 

That, in response to PM03 Arms Embargo Now Signatory, the 45th General Council, 2025, 

• Take no further action on PM03 Arms Embargo Now Signatory for Summer 2025
• encourage all individuals in The United Church of Canada to write to their elected officials for Canada to enact a two-way arms embargo that is comprehensive and binding.
