NUCLEAR ZERO 7 BILLION REASONS WHY NUCLEAR ZERO is not a distant dream

One of our core values at the Nuclear Age Foundation is shameless idealism. We live this value every day in our efforts to reach Nuclear Zero: a world without nuclear weapons. But President earlier this year spoke of as if it were a far off goal: “Peace with justice means pursuing the security of a world without nuclear weapons—no matter how distant that dream may be.” We at NAPF must disagree.

There are still over 17,000 nuclear weapons worldwide and we cannot waste time merely imagining a distant future without them. We must continue to wage all-out peace, in one unified voice, and in innumerable ways.

The only way to keep our world and our loved ones safe is to relentlessly strive for the total elimination of nuclear weapons. We must remain steadfast in our goal to educate, engage, and mobilize the public in organized advocacy, working until nuclear weapons no longer threaten the sanctity of our world.

Nuclear Zero must not be a distant dream. Nuclear Zero must be now. For the seven billion people with whom we share this Earth, we must let our shameless idealism lead us to a nuclear weapons-free today.

INTERNS learn to lead the way

Recent intern Lulu Dewey contacted Mona Saghri, a 2012 intern, to get the scoop on what it’s like to work at NAPF. The students in our Internship Program are indispensable when it comes to achieving the Foundation’s goals. As Lulu found out, Mona left NAPF deeply committed to a world Mona Saghri free of nuclear weapons and armed with the skills to wage peace. Lulu’s interview with Mona follows.

What was your educational background before interning at NAPF? How much did you know about critical issues in the nuclear age? Lulu Dewey I received my B.A. in Political Science with an International Relations emphasis from UCSB. In retrospect, my classes did not paint a complete picture of critical issues in the nuclear age. I learned much about political issues but the “human element” was absent.

What were some of the meaningful projects that you worked on? I especially enjoyed writing for NAPF’s blog. The blog-style writing allowed me to channel my inner creativity and I enjoyed the freedom of choosing what aspect of the nuclear weapons issue I wanted to research and discuss.

What was something especially valuable that you learned during your time at NAPF? I was always provided with guidance whenever I sought it, but for the most part, I was given a lot of freedom and independence with what projects I wanted to take on. Ultimately, the most valuable thing I learned “I learned so much during my during my time at NAPF was how global peace is not a vague dream but internship about critical issues in an attainable reality. the nuclear age, peace leaders, movements of non-violence, What work have you been engaged with since your time at NAPF? and how such knowledge and How has NAPF shaped your current trajectory? understanding has wonderful I currently work at the Social Science Research Council, a nonprofit potential to bring peace and organization in New York City. Working at NAPF has helped me realize harmony to this world.” that no matter what I do in life, I want to make sure it involves making ~ Mona Saghri the world a better and more peaceful place.

NUCLEAR ZERO 7 Billion Reasons Why

There are seven billion of us on this planet. Seven billion reasons why Nuclear Zero is crucial if we are to leave a safe and secure world for our children, grandchildren and all children of the future.

Nuclear weapons are symbols of an imploding human spirit. They are, literally, a fire that robs the air of decency. We must come together as one voice to rid the world of these horrific weapons. At this moment in human life, there is no greater purpose than eliminating nuclear weapons from the planet.

Join us as we wage all-out peace and chart the path to Nuclear Zero.
