Purpose
To empower the majority of Americans who want a nuke-free world by educating and organizing their communities to protect themselves and their families. We, the people, can change our nuclear policy by creating an active, nonpartisan political force that supports those Representatives who work for nuclear disarmament and replaces those who support the nuclear weapons complex and its budget.
We Believe
The policies of our government reflect the opinions of its citizens when they are organized and active. Without organization citizen opinion is overwhelmed by the lobbying activities of the corporations. Our task is made more urgent by the possibility of a nuclear attack by terrorists, misunderstanding or human error - especially with thousands of weapons on high alert, targeted on each other in the US and Russia.
The Campaign
Our goal is to pursue the implementation of the 13 Practical Steps to nuclear disarmament agreed upon at the 2000 Non Proliferation Treaty Review Conference, or similar negotiated disarmament actions. And to provide continuing support for disarmament process that Pres. Obama has started, cleanup of polluted sites and conversion, where possible, of nuclear facilities and their employees to work that supports healthy lives in a healthy, liveable environment.
Ends
By starting the disarmament process our communities will become safer, our relations with other nations will improve and the US will take the lead in preventing nuclear catastrophe. The vast federal funds now devoted to nuclear weapons and delivery systems can be used to help to control global warming and serve the needs of our people.
Together we can do this!
