No nuclear wars, plz

Let's end the policy that gives the American President unilateral authority to start a nuclear war.

Tell Congress and President Biden: No one person or nation, regardless of character or party affiliation, should have the power to end life on Earth. We urge you to enact a No First Use policy for our nuclear arsenal. SIGN THE PETITION! Pamela, Donald Trump was a bad president, and it was terrifying to think that he spent the past 4 years with the power to launch a nuclear strike at a moment's notice. Now, with Trump out of the White House, it's time to think about ways to fix the unthinkable consequences of leaving the Presidency in the hands of a madman. Let's end the policy that gives the American President unilateral authority to start a nuclear war. SIGN NOW: Congress must pass a No First Use policy and prevent the United States from ever starting a nuclear war. Recently, Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Adam Smith introduced a bill that would make it the policy of the United States not to use nuclear weapons first. Your Representatives should support it! Why No First Use? Here are five reasons that we stand for No First Use: There are no circumstances in which the United States could use nuclear weapons first without suffering horrific consequences and inflicting the loss of millions of innocent lives. Retaining that suicidal option only encourages other countries to do the same. No individual or Congressional body – by intention or miscalculation – should ever be able to threaten the annihilation of states and cities. We need to disincentivize the demand for a nuclear arsenal that costs us trillions of dollars and could be going to the actual needs of our communities: healthcare, education, housing, solutions to the climate crisis, and much more. Nuclear detonation anywhere in the world, by any actor, would drastically elevate the role of the military globally and fundamentally weaken the ability of civil society to advocate for their communities and causes. A No First Use policy would in no way reduce our ability to deter nuclear-armed adversaries who fear a nuclear counterattack. Now is the time for society to act together — civil society groups, Members of Congress, faith leaders, and everyday people. Sign the petition: Demand Congress add checks and balances to our nuclear system and enact No First Use!
