Nuclear weapons pose an existential threat to the survival of humanity. Together, we can insist on diplomacy and disarmament — not more militarism.
Defuse Nuclear War is a coalition of more than 200 organizations and organizers dedicated to reducing the risk of nuclear war.
Since June 2022, the coalition has organized more than 150 in-person actions across the United States and numerous online events with hundreds of attendees. Notable events include commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 2022, advocating for diplomacy in Ukraine in February 2023, promoting Daniel Ellsberg Week in April 2023, and leading a week of action in September, 2023.
Our coalition emphasizes diplomacy, disarmament, and the reinstatement of key treaties. Our next week of action is scheduled for January 8-14, 2024. Defuse Nuclear War encourages individuals to join organizations in our coalition in resisting the existential threat posed by nuclear weapons.
