Help End the Threat of Nuclear Weapons
Jul 16, 2010

Today marks the 65th Anniversary of the first atomic bomb explosion, which took place at the Trinity Site (now White Sands Missile Range), NM on July 16, 1945.

It's a sad anniversary, but one we should take note of, and let it spur us on to take action now to stop the threat of a nuclear disaster.

We've partnered with Participant Productions and TakePart to work toward eliminating all nuclear weapons.  You can read more in my blog post here.

Also, I strongly encourage you to see their new movie, Countdown to Zero, a powerful yet hopeful film on the dangers of nuclear weapons and the need (and real possibility) of eliminating 100% of nuclear weapons in the world.

And please, sign this petition to urge your senators to support the New START treaty which President Obama has already signed but still needs Congressional ratification. It's an important step in the right direction.

Thank you.
