Brooklyn For Peace
Nuclear Zero
Mission Statement

We believe that "Nuclear Zero" — an end to nuclear proliferation, and complete nuclear disarmament by all countries including the United States which now possess nuclear weapons — is among the most critical issues of our time. The United States, as the first nuclear power and the only nation to use nuclear weapons to intentionally kill human beings, bears a special responsibility to act immediately, consistently, and cooperatively within the international community, to foster "Nuclear Zero." Support for a national policy of "Nuclear Zero" will require the education and mobilization of Americans of all ages.

A Town Hall Meeting on October 14, 2009, with speaker John Burroughs, Executive Director, Lawyers Committee on Nuclear Policy, was the kick-off event in the campaign to inform the Brooklyn community about this issue. See the Summary of this meeting.

Sign this online petition to President Obama.

We'll be gathering signatures on this petition, as well as building momentum for the International Conference on May 1 and 2, 2010, in New York city, on the occasion of the 5-year Review of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty

We've compiled a list of Movies About Nuclear War, which can be used to educate, organize, and inspire to action. Let us know how these movies affect you.
