It's Not Just Tillerson




Who is Beatrice Fihn? She's the Executive Director of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN.) Why is she in the news today? Because of this:

The 2017 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded Friday to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee said ICAN was receiving the award for its "work to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weapons." (From a story at cnn.com, read it here.) 

Fihn's tweet is from two days ago.
