Global Zero: Stop the Nuclear Threat

This week, President Obama is hosting a crucial Nuclear Security Summit in Washington.

With 23,000 nuclear weapons worldwide, experts are clear: we either eliminate all nuclear weapons or accept living in a world where virtually any country or terrorist group can get one.

Last year, over 115,000 of us helped secure a historic commitment by Russia and the US to reduce their nuclear arsenals by a third--a commitment affirmed in the new US-Russia treaty.

But only a massive surge of people power can persuade world leaders to take bolder steps to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons. We cannot miss this historic opportunity! Sign the declaration below, then spread the word -- the petition numbers will be announced at the summit:

 
WE believe that to protect our children, our grandchildren and our civilization from the threat of nuclear catastrophe, we must eliminate all nuclear weapons globally. We therefore commit to working for a legally binding, verifiable agreement, including all nations, to eliminate nuclear weapons by a date certain.

Help Avaaz Win in 2010

Over the last three years, Avaaz has won major victories on issues ranging from climate change to human rights to poverty and democracy. Just in the last 3 months millions of us helped create the largest marine protected area in history in the Chagos Islands, protected the global ban on Ivory trading, and launched an unprecedented movement that to help prevent some countries from enacting the death penalty for gay people.  

The problems we face are vast, but we're just getting started, and our pace is accelerating - over 50,000 new people join Avaaz every week! Tens of thousands of Avaaz members have voted on our priorities for 2010 -- the results are here:

Together we're taking our campaigning to the next level, but Avaaz will not accept funding from governments or corporations - it's all up to us. If just 10,000 of us give just $5 per week (about two cups of coffee!) we can double the amount of Avaaz campaigning from last year! Separate, we're drops in the bucket, but together, we're an ocean.
