80 years after the U.S. bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we refuse to let fear dictate our future. Ploughshares is proud to stand by dozens of organizations working to ensure today’s conflicts do not become tomorrow’s nuclear catastrophes ⬇️ ploughshares.org/wp-content/u...

80 years ago, the world changed forever 🌏 We are thankful for the brave truth-telling of the survivors of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, & nuclear testing. Disarmament is not simply a goal, it is our responsibility to those who paid the highest price. Join us: #HumanRaceNotArmsRace

⚠️80 years after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, time's running out to prevent a new nuclear arms race. Congress must act to steer us back from the brink and toward a better future rooted in peace, security, and shared humanity. @nonukesplz.bsky.social www.fcnl.org/updates/2025...

New from FCNL's @bridgetmoixfcnl.bsky.social ⬇️ 80 years after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, "we must continue to imagine and work for a world free of nuclear weapons and the threat they pose to humanity."

We are proud to support the Investing in Children Before Missiles (ICBM) Act. As FCNL's @nonukesplz.bsky.social said, "We oppose pouring billions into new nuclear weapon systems...It’s time to end the wasteful spending on the Sentinel program and invest instead in schools and communities."

@markey.senate.gov, @sanders.senate.gov, @senjeffmerkley.bsky.social, @vanhollen.senate.gov, and @rokhanna.bsky.social just introduced the ICBM Act of 2025, a move to redirect billions from the over-budget, delayed Sentinel nuclear missile program to public education.

"Every dollar directed to the Pentagon is a dollar not spent on affordable housing, strong schools, quality healthcare, or a more livable planet." Congress must hold the line and ensure a trillion-dollar Pentagon budget doesn't become business as usual. buff.ly/s8V5XhY

The Trump administration has announced plans to request $1.01 trillion for the Pentagon, paired with massive cuts to critical non-military programs like housing assistance, education initiatives, environmental programs, and foreign aid. www.fcnl.org/updates/2025...

Real security does not come from more nuclear explosions, but from preventing the use of nuclear weapons altogether. Along with 15 of our faith partners, FCNL affirms that diplomacy and nuclear arms control negotiations are the path to sustainable peace. www.fcnl.org/updates/2025...

This week's Critical State, hyping work by: - @francescadnunz.bsky.social at @texasobserver.org - @ruthmichaelson.com at @theguardian.com - Nathan Gardels at @noemamag.com - @penamerica.bsky.social - @nonukesplz.bsky.social at Inkstick - Patrick Winn at @prx.org - Plus more!

Pres Trump has repeatedly highlighted the existential threat & financial burden that nuclear weapons pose. Yet as FCNL's @nonukesplz.bsky.social explains, his administration's policies are increasing -not decreasing- those threats & costs. @inkstickmedia.com inkstickmedia.com/does-trump-r...

Despite Donald Trump occasionally sounding the alarm on nuclear weapons, his administration has taken aim at nuclear nonproliferation programs, writes @nonukesplz.bsky.social

Nuclear threats are on the rise. But attention to the issue has dwindled. That's why @nti.org & @ploughshares.bsky.social created this great new resource to help advocates effectively communicate the need for action to protect the safe, sustainable future we all deserve. buff.ly/3n25aTP

This week, we joined partners for a Nuclear Threat Action Day, dropping off copies of Annie Jacobsen’s “Nuclear War: A Scenario" to raise awareness in Congress of the existential risks of nuclear weapons. We were heartened to hear the book is already mandatory reading in one House office.

Great day spreading awareness about the dangers of nuclear war on Capitol Hill, including dropping a copy of “Nuclear War: A Scenario” off with Speaker Mike Johnson’s team. #educateDONTescalate

Today Ploughshares and its partners are delivering copies of Annie Jacobsen’s recent book Nuclear War: A Scenario to every member of Congress. Please urge your representatives to read this essential book! Find your representatives here: www.congress.gov/members/find...

Congress giving more money to the Pentagon at the expense of essential social services undermines the nation’s moral and ethical obligations to its citizens. Such cuts would be devastating for millions of Americans www.fcnl.org/updates/2025...

People, planet, & peace >>> Pentagon, profits, & power

This week, global experts warned that humanity is closer than ever to catastrophe. Among many serious threats, they warned that the militarization of AI is increasing the risk of nuclear war. Shawn Adams recently broke down what's at stake and the need for action. www.fcnl.org/updates/2024...

As we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and legacy today, we remember his poignant words. And we remain steadfast in our advocacy for peace, justice, and environmental stewardship as we prepare for the difficult times ahead.

"A sustainable future requires prioritizing peacebuilding, human needs, and accountability over endless military spending." @nonukesplz.bsky.social

🧵The FY25 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is heading to President Biden’s desk. Let’s break it down: breakingdefense.com/2024/12/895-...

AI makes decisions faster, but when it comes to nuclear weapons, speed can mean catastrophe. Human judgment, not algorithms, must remain in control. The stakes are too high. I'm glad to see the national defense bill recognizes this risk. www.fcnl.org/updates/2024...
