Take Action to Create a World Free of Nuclear Weapons

An Appeal to the Next U.S. President

Click here to join the XIVth Dalai Lama, Walter Cronkite, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Frances Moore Lappé, Daniel Ellsberg, Bonnie Raitt, Douglas Roche O.C., Jackson Browne, Jeff Bridges and many others in sending a message to the next occupant of the White House. Our goal is to collect the support of one million people for a world free of nuclear weapons.

"We will not build a peaceful world by following a negative path. It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it. We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war but on the positive affirmation of peace. We must see that peace represents a sweeter music, a cosmic melody, that is far superior to the discords of war. Somehow, we must transform the dynamics of the world power struggle from the negative nuclear arms race, which no one can win, to a positive contest to harness humanity's creative genius for the purpose of making peace and prosperity a reality for all the nations of the world. In short, we must shift the arms race into a peace race. If we have a will - and determination - to mount such a peace offensive, we will unlock hitherto tightly sealed doors of hope and transform our imminent cosmic elegy into a psalm of creative fulfillment." -- Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)
