Back from the Brink
Abolishing Nuclear Weapons
Back from the Brink is a US-based grassroots coalition of individuals, organizations and elected officials working together toward a world free of nuclear weapons and advocating for common sense nuclear weapons policies to secure a safer, more just future. We call on the United States to lead a global effort to prevent nuclear war by:
Actively pursuing a verifiable agreement among nuclear-armed states to eliminate their nuclear arsenals
Renouncing the option of using nuclear weapons first
Ending the sole, unchecked authority of any U.S. President to
launch a nuclear attack
Taking U.S. nuclear weapons off hair-trigger alert
Cancelling the plan to replace the entire U.S. nuclear arsenal
with enhanced weapons

Nuclear weapons threaten all of us, everything, our future, all we
hold dear. They are inherently unjust. Their production, testing, and waste
continue to disproportionately harm communities of color. The elimination
of nuclear weapons is deeply linked to other pressing concerns such as racial and
economic justice, militarism, preserving our democracy, and confronting climate
change.
Together we are making “nuclear weapons a local issue” and connecting
them with the real-life security and safety concerns that people and
communities face every day.
What Can I Do, I’m Just Li’l Me?”
The movement to abolish nuclear weapons to avoid nuclear holocaust is one of our most urgently
needed peace groups. They need our support. Google them, contact them, join one, join
two. You will benefit most.
