Dear Activist,
The Trump administration's nuclear weapons policies are putting us on a dangerous path and escalating global tensions. Thankfully, more people, more members of Congress, and even some presidential candidates are now taking a stand against the administration’s current aggressive nuclear weapons policies and rhetoric and calling for change. The risks are real, and it’s time for us to change direction and get on the right path to a safer and more secure world. –Katy

Tell Your Legislators: The United States Should Never Start a Nuclear War
Thanks to thousands of UCS supporters and many others around the country there is growing support for the No First Use Act, a bill consisting of just one line: “It is the policy of the United States to not use nuclear weapons first.” It's simple. It's common sense. It's the first step needed on the path to preventing nuclear war. Write your legislators today and urge them to co-sponsor the No First Use Act.

Ask a Scientist
With deteriorating relations between the United States and the two other superpowers, Russia and China, is it still possible to strengthen nuclear arms controls and reduce the risk of nuclear war?
It is no doubt a difficult time to pursue new arms control agreements, especially since the Trump administration has been pulling out of them. Even if it is not a fruitful time for bilateral or multilateral negotiations, there are a number of things the United States can and should do on its own—and can do quickly—that would strengthen US security by reducing the risk of nuclear war while maintaining a robust deterrent against a nuclear attack. While reducing nuclear arsenals has typically been done through detailed negotiations, key policy changes could be made immediately by presidential order. Given the current occupant of the White House, however, some or all of these steps may not happen until there is a new administration. READ MORE

The Pain and Politics of Hiroshima
Each year, the city of Hiroshima, Japan, holds a commemoration of the 1945 US atomic bombing, which, combined with the second attack on Nagasaki, took the lives of more than 150,000 people. Most of them civilians. In August, UCS nuclear weapons expert Gregory Kulacki spoke at the event. Watch our latest video and see for yourself why the US should never again be the first to launch a nuclear strike. WATCH MORE
