The
fact that nine countries in the world still possess
nuclear weapons is a threat to humanity and the Earth.
In 2017, the United Nations adopted a groundbreaking
agreement to ban nuclear weapons, but none of
the countries with nuclear powers signed it –
including the United States.

demand the nine nuclear powers sign the U.N. Treaty on
the Prohibition of Nuclear
Weapons!
The scale of devastation from a
nuclear weapon is unlike anything else ever created. The
International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons puts
the severity of the situation simply: "Even a
single nuclear detonation in a modern city would strain
existing disaster relief resources to the breaking
point."
The immediate effects would be
painful and horrific. The lasting effects would
be equally as terrifying: radioactivity that's
genetically damaging to humans, the destruction of our
society as we know it, and the disruption of the
climate.
Nuclear weapons are the most
inhumane weapons ever created, and the U.S. has
the most in the world, second only to Russia.
It's time to ban them for good.
Sign the petition to
demand Russia, United States, China, France, United
Kingdom, Pakistan, India, Israel, and North Korea sign
the U.N. Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear
Weapons!
