Defuse Nuclear War
ABOUT:
Help build a movement to prevent nuclear war.
We can work together to reduce the threat of nuclear weapons.
Nuclear weapons pose an existential threat to the survival of humanity. Together, we can insist on diplomacy and disarmament — not more militarism.
October 16th 2022 marked 60 years since the start of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Right now is the closest the world has been to a nuclear war since then.
Very few members of the House and Senate have risen to the occasion by speaking out and working for measures to de-escalate tensions between nuclear powers. Nor have many of them devoted serious effort to reviving negotiations for nuclear-weapons treaties and disarmament measures.
That’s why it’s so important that people across the country demand that their elected leaders take a stand and work to reduce the risk of nuclear war.
This project is co-sponsored by 95 organizations and groups aiming to save the world from nuclear war.

Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament
ABOUT:
CND campaigns non-violently to achieve British nuclear disarmament – to get rid of the Trident nuclear weapons system and stop its replacement. But we recognise that Britain’s nuclear weapons are only a small part of the problem, so we also campaign for a global nuclear weapons ban. Join us.
As well as campaigning for British nuclear disarmament and a global ban on nuclear weapons, we also work to end Britain’s participation in the US Missile Defence system and – with other campaigns internationally – against missile defence and weapons in space.
Our other campaigns include opposition to NATO and its nuclear policies and to nuclear power, and for the prevention and cessation of wars in which nuclear weapons may be used, as well as encouraging non-military solutions to conflict.
CND is funded entirely by its members and supporters. Our policies are decided upon by our annual national members’ conference, where our national leadership is also elected. We are a proud, grassroots movement comprising local groups, regions and nations, as well as specialist sections. CND works with an alliance of anti-Trident organisations, trade unions and faith communities to achieve our goal of a nuclear weapons-free world.

Beyond the Bomb
ABOUT:
Beyond the Bomb is a people-powered campaign working to free our planet from nuclear violence.
Our activists work to build power every day on the local, state, and national levels to prevent nuclear war and put an end to the exploitative and morally bankrupt system that supports these horrific weapons.
Our Vision: A Planet That Has Moved Beyond the Bomb
- Governments invest in human needs over weapons of mass destruction.
- Cooperation and community are stronger forces than fear and violence.
- The interests of citizens always come before corporations and businesses.
- Communities impacted by the nuclear system are recognized and delivered justice.
- Nuclear weapons are forever consigned to the dustbin of history.
Our Key Issues:
- Adopt No-First-Use: A binding agreement by nuclear-armed states to never use nuclear weapons first would be a critical step toward preventing a disastrous nuclear exchange and pave the way to deep reductions in these arsenals. This can and should begin in the United States, which has no need to rely on the first use of nuclear weapons in any conflict.
- End Sole Authority: No single person should have the power to start a nuclear war that kills millions of people. In these alarming times, we fiercely champion emergency legislation that will restrain the President’s absolute power to use nuclear weapons, like the Restricting First Use of Nuclear Weapons Act.
- Block A $1.7 Trillion Nuclear Spending Spree: America should focus on funding education, healthcare, and infrastructure — not investing $1.7 trillion in nuclear weapons, which only serve to perpetuate the status quo.
- Increase Superfund Support: The US government must prioritize funding the cleanup of toxic waste left from decades of nuclear weapons production and testing, which does devastating harm to Americans and the environment.
- Enact Restorative Nuclear Justice: Vulnerable communities at home and abroad still suffer from the long-term impacts of the nuclear system and deserve recognition, justice, and reparations.

Greenpeace
ABOUT:
We want to live on a healthy, peaceful planet. A planet where forests flourish, oceans are full of life and where once-threatened animals safely roam.
Where our quality of life is measured in relationships, not things. Where our food is delicious, nutritious, and grown with love. Where the air we breathe is fresh and clear. Where our energy is as clean as a mountain stream. Where everyone has the security, dignity and joy we all deserve.
It’s all possible. We can’t make it happen alone, but have no doubt: We can do it together.
Greenpeace’s work is based on a number of principles. They are reflected in all our campaigns, and they guide whatever we do, wherever we do it.
Greenpeace is a network of independent organisations, which uses peaceful, creative confrontation to expose global environmental problems, and develop solutions for a green and peaceful future.
Our Mission
Our goal is to ensure the ability of the earth to nurture life in all its diversity.
That means we want to:
- protect biodiversity in all its forms
- prevent pollution and abuse of the earth’s ocean, land, air and fresh water
- end all nuclear threats
- promote peace, global disarmament and non-violence

Nuke Watch
ABOUT:
Nukewatch is a Wisconsin-based environmental and peace action group, dedicated to the abolition of nuclear power, weapons and continued radioactive waste production. Nukewatch brings critical attention to the locations, movements, dangers, and the politics of nuclear weapons and dangerous wastes. Staff and volunteers advocate Gandhian nonviolence in education and action, and report on nuclear issues in the Nukewatch Quarterly newsletter.
Nukewatch began in 1979 in response to the cold war build up of nuclear weapons and the secrecy surrounding the nuclear industry. Nukewatch conducted TrackWatch; a program to monitor and expose secret shipments of radioactive waste on U.S. rails; TruckWatch, the transportation of H-bombs and component parts in unmarked trucks by the DOE; Nukewatch mapped all 1,000 land-based nuclear missile silos for educational and organizing purposes. Nukewatch has a long history of successful grassroots organizing across the nation.
Nukewatch organized — for 13 years — two to four activities each year at the Navy’s Project ELF in northern Wisconsin in opposition to this first-strike nuclear war communication system. It closed on September 30, 2004.
Nukewatch monitors the transportation of radioactive waste around the country and around the world on an on-going basis.

RootsAction
ABOUT:
RootsAction was founded in 2011 by two longtime progressive advocates and journalists, Norman Solomon and Jeff Cohen, and quickly grew.
We need a fresh approach to defend the public interest and expand social justice. Our country faces an increasingly extremist Republican Party that is largely a subsidiary of corporate America, and a Democratic Party whose leadership is enmeshed with and compromised by corporate power.
RootsAction is dedicated to galvanizing people who are committed to economic fairness, equal rights for all, civil liberties, environmental protection — and defunding endless wars. We mobilize on these issues no matter whether Democrats or Republicans control Washington D.C.
We will not be silent as the federal government continues to squander billions of dollars on foreign wars, causing destruction and hatred overseas while failing to meet the needs of the vast majority of people in our country.
We will not stand by as people lose their jobs, homes, healthcare and income due to corporatist policies abetted by both major parties.
We will take action — independent of both party leaderships.
That’s why RootsAction has been strongly endorsed by such respected, independent-minded progressives as Jim Hightower, the late Barbara Ehrenreich, Cornel West, Daniel Ellsberg, Naomi Klein, Bill Fletcher Jr., Laura Flanders, former U.S. Senator James Abourezk, Frances Fox Piven, Phil Donahue, Sonali Kolhatkar, the late Lila Garrett, and many others.
When progressives have fallen into making excuses for an unjust and untenable status quo — they’ve helped “populists” of the right wing to masquerade as the agents of change.
RootsAction is mobilizing behind policies that actually address the immense economic, social, racial and environmental problems facing our country — including Medicare For All, Green New Deal, cancelling student debt, cutting the military budget, and substantially raising the minimum wage.
Our goal is to organize people who are already active into an independent political force, while reaching out in a genuinely populist voice to those who are not committed progressives. This is crucial for defeating the corporate-financed and media-fueled right wing, which so deftly utilizes racism, fear, myth and outright lies.
RootsAction pledges to resist the policies of the Republican right at every turn, while confronting the Democratic Party’s tendency to give ground to GOP obstruction in the name of “bipartisanship.”
One of the most heartening recent developments in our country is the rise of independent media that reach millions each day with reporting that exposes not just threats from the extreme right, but also vacillation and corruption among Democrats. These millions represent a base of informed, active Americans that RootsAction seeks to empower and mobilize.
Corporate power over both major parties is afflicting and poisoning the body politic. Genuine democracy is the antidote.
RootsAction is open to all those who seek a more just and peaceful world; contact us with your ideas for issues we should address and actions we should take.

Global Zero
ABOUT:
Nuclear weapons threaten every city on the planet with staggering humanitarian, environmental and economic loss. So long as they exist we will never be safe.
30 years ago, there were 70,300 nuclear weapons on the planet. Today, an estimated 12,705 nuclear weapons remain. By 2045, we could eliminate all nuclear weapons, consigning them to the dustbin of history before the bomb turns 100.
Working with political leaders, senior military commanders and national security experts from across the political spectrum and in every nuclear-armed region of the world, we are working to achieve historic Global Zero Accords that would ensure that all nuclear weapons are permanently dismantled.
