The Nuclear Security Summit gathered 47 world leaders in DC to commit to achieving the goal of securing all vulnerable nuclear material, such as plutonium or highly enriched uranium, and securing loose nuclear weapons within four years. President Obama linked the summit to the vision of achieving a nuclear weapons free world, which he outlined in his speech from Prague last year. With world leaders gathered, the summit was also an opportunity to raise the profile of nuclear disarmament.

Nuclear disarmament sign-on letter for organizations

March 2nd, 2010 by cbautista

We want to remind the president that there is widespread support for strong leadership to eliminate nuclear weapons. That’s why the Campaign is launching a new sign-on letter to President Obama. Will your organization sign on?

The letter will call on the president to announce at the upcoming Global Security Summit that he will host a disarmament summit next year. It will be delivered on April 5 to coincide with the anniversary of President Obama’s Prague speech.

This is not a petition for individual members of the public to sign. It is intended for faith, community, environmental, peace, labor, and other groups to approve and sign on to. Organizations can view the letter here and sign on to the letter by the April 1st deadline.
