The world is different — and a little more hopeful — as of 7/7/17.

There is a 2017 United Nations Treaty banning nuclear weapons.  The people who spearheaded it won the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize.  The United States and the other 8 nuclear-armed nations haven’t signed it yet – but WE THE PEOPLE aren’t waiting. There are steps we can take, right here and now in the United States, to help speed the world toward the total elimination of nuclear weapons.

Nuclear weapons don’t make us any safer – they put us at unspeakable risk.  They do, however, make a small number of people very rich.  No matter who nukes whom, a nuclear war or nuclear accident anywhere on the planet can cause climate disruption, food shortages, radioactive fallout, increased cancers, and economic disaster everywhere.

Start here.

The Treaty Compliance Campaign

Our aim is to get cities and states across the country, as well as individuals, businesses, faith communities, and organizations of every kind, to become ‘compliant’ with the Nuclear Ban Treaty.

Many cities, counties and other legal entities in the US are already ‘treaty compliant’ as a result of local ordinances and city codes passed in the 1980s making these places ‘Nuclear Free Zones’.

Many more cities, states, businesses, colleges and faith communities made the commitment to ‘comply’ with the Paris Climate Accords when President Trump decided to pull the federal government out of this international agreement.

We can do the same with the Nuclear Ban Treaty, another international agreement which has overwhelming support from the rest of the world and would address a threat to the survival of the human species at least as great as the threat coming from climate change…

Start here.

What will All this accomplish?

You’ll be putting pressure on industry and Wall Street, where the real power lies.

You’ll be helping the USA prepare for the inevitable conversion of jobs and industries from nuclear weapons to sustainable technologies that address climate change. (Let’s solve two of our biggest problems at the same time!)

You’ll be part of an unstoppable movement to make the USA sign, ratify, implement and enforce the Treaty. You can urge federal lawmakers to move toward total nuclear disarmament before earth’s civilization is destroyed in a war, or by accident.

You’ll be expressing solidarity with the rest of the world and supporting ALL countries in signing the Treaty.

You Can Comply with the Treaty YOURSELF…

You can take the first step, by joining the campaign and finding out about the Treaty and what it means for you.

You can then make the decision, if you want, to comply with the Treaty yourself…

…then help your friends, organizations, town/city, and state become “Treaty Compliant”
