This week, we joined community partners on Capitol Hill to raise awareness on the threat of nuclear weapons! Annie Jacobsen's #NuclearWarAScenario sends a powerful message and we hope to empower MoCs with knowledge so they can take action. #educateDONTescalate
关于我们
The Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation is a Washington, D.C.-based 501(c)3 non-profit, non-partisan research organization dedicated to enhancing international peace and security in the 21st century. The Center was originally formed as the research branch of Council for a Livable World, an organization founded in 1962 by eminent nuclear physicist Leo Szilard and other scientists who pioneered the development of atomic weapons and became concerned about their use and spread. In 1980, the Center evolved into its own non-profit, independent organization. Since then, the Center has retained its focus on nuclear weapons but expanded its activities to include other present and emerging security threats. Along with its sister organization, Council for a Livable World, the Center has been at the forefront of U.S. arms control and national security policy for almost 50 years.

Check out the latest from Research Analyst Shawn Rostker on how delays, bureaucratic obstacles, and a lack of accountability at the Santa Susana Field Lab in Southern California leave hundreds of thousands of residents and the environment at risk. "Despite an opportunity for California leaders to champion a thorough cleanup at Santa Susana, they’ve instead allowed toxic waste to linger, putting their constituents’ health and safety at risk.? ... It’s now up to the public to demand immediate action. Local, state and federal representatives must be pressured to file a lawsuit over the PEIR before it’s too late. The consequences of inaction are too great. When others see California doing the bare minimum to ensure the safety and health of its residents, it lowers standards of accountability and weakens resolve for stringent environmental and public health policies. Such a precedent undermines decades of progress in environmental regulation and public health protection and sets a dangerous norm that could take years, if not generations, to correct."

Check out what you might have missed from our annual conference last week by watching the livestream. We were thrilled to feature an exceptional lineup of speakers and moderators who helped us thoughtfully examine the question: Are we destined for a Cold War in the 21st century? Our panelists drilled down on critical issues facing the United States, including the trilateral relationship with Russia and China, and whether emerging technology like AI means we should compete, cooperate or both. After hearing from our speakers and panelists, we suspect you'll find the answer to the question -- whether we're destined for a Cold War in the 21st century -- is no...IF we take steps NOW to prevent one. The power is in our hands. https://lnkd.in/etYzWhaZ

Our latest Nukes of Hazard podcast is out today! The United States celebrated an incredible achievement last year: the U.S. chemical weapons stockpile is now fully dismantled. How did we get here? Does that mean we no longer face chemical threats? Are there parallels between eliminating chemical weapons and eliminating nuclear weapons? The latest episode of the Center's Nukes of Hazard podcast answers all those questions and more. https://lnkd.in/eb8eYepH
