Fwd: Nuclear Arms Limits Expire Days from Now - Take Action Today!

[Ellen Thomas]

On February 5th, the NewStart Agreement expires, ending a 1500 warhead deployment cap between the US and Russia

Countdown to the End of New Start Treaty On February 5th, 2026, the NewStart Treaty will expire. NewStart has limited the number of deployed nuclear weapons between the United States and Russia to 1500 each. There are no active negotiations to keep these limits in place despite Russian attempts. It's time to take action by demanding leaders support new arms control.  In 23 days, there will be no legal limits on the deployment of nuclear weapons in the world.    Last week, Northwest Against Nuclear Weapons rolled out four billboards across Washington State warning of the expiration and urging the public to take action.  Supporters and concerned citizens are encouraged to visit nwanw.org/newstart to learn how they can get involved and save common-sense arms control.
