For nearly 40 years, Ploughshares Fund has been confronting the existential threat and immorality of nuclear weapons.

The risk is real. With nearly every nuclear threat increasing over the past year, Ploughshares Fund continues to fulfill our mission with increased urgency: every day we work to reduce and eliminate nuclear weapons, to stop their spread and build peace in regions of conflict where nuclear weapons exist.

Ploughshares Fund is the largest foundation in the world devoted exclusively to eliminating nuclear weapons. Our opportunity to make major changes is now. Let’s face this challenge together.

Since the United States violated the Iran nuclear agreement in May 2018, Iran has taken steps to reduce its compliance with the deal, and the Trump Administration’s “maximum pressure” campaign has exacerbated tensions between the United States and Iran. The Trump Administration’s disastrous Iran policy came to a head in June, when the United States nearly went to war with Iran in retaliation for the downing of an American surveillance drone.
