Union
of Concerned Scientists
- Today, some 9,000 nuclear weapons remain in
the world’s arsenals—with over 90 percent owned by the
US and Russia, and both countries are actively planning to build
new weapons, Meanwhile, many of the Cold War’s most absurd
and dangerous nuclear policies remain unchanged, such as an option to use nuclear weapons first in a conflict.
Ploughshares.org
- Nuclear weapons continue to be a global threat to life. Nine countries
hold over 13,000 nuclear weapons and these do nothing to protect against today's real threats. Yet, the U.S. is on
track to spend $2 trillion on a new generation of nuclear weapons
over the next 30 years. This is an outdated, overpriced, and
unnecessary strategy for peace.
ReachingCriticalWill.org
WorldBeyondWar.org
- No war or use of weapons is ever inevitable, justified, necessary, or beneficial. War and weapons are fundamentally immoral, a

and advocate for change.
WorldFutureCouncil.org
- Approximately 1.75 trillion dollars is spent each year on militaries worldwide. Instead,

Party UK
-
Warfare with our present offensive
weapon systems, nuclear or non-nuclear, is too dangerous to be regarded as a sane security policy.
