Peace Action

"One nuclear weapon exploded in one city -- be it New York or Moscow, Islamabad or Mumbai, Tokyo or Tel Aviv, Paris or Prague -- could kill hundreds of thousands of people. And no matter where it happens, there is no end to what the consequences might be -- for our global safety, our security, our society, our economy, to our ultimate survival."

We Need You
In that speech, President Obama pledged the United States to demonstrate leadership for nuclear disarmament and abolition. Now we must work to ensure that commitment is fulfilled. Help us add 100,000 signatures to an international petition for abolition to be delivered before the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference at the United Nations in May 2010. A printable version of the petition may be found here.

Dear President Obama, 

We wholeheartedly applaud you for declaring in Prague, “I state clearly and with conviction America’s commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.” We commend you for your courageous and historic recognition that “as the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon, the United States has a moral responsibility to act.” We call on you to make good on that commitment and fulfill that responsibility by announcing at the 2010 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference your initiation of good faith multilateral negotiations on an international agreement to abolish nuclear weapons, within our lifetimes!  Yes we can!!
