Once it’s gone, the world's two biggest nuclear powers will be free — and incentivized — to build as many new nuclear weapons as they want with no oversight, no transparency, and no safeguards. We already know this path leads to global devastation. That’s why for 50 years, people have fought to avoid that fate. The last nuclear arms race was as dangerous as it was wasteful: It pushed our world to the brink of nuclear war. Nuclear weapons tests destroyed ecosystems and poisoned entire communities for generations. Billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars were redirected to war profiteers over resources for communities and working people. There’s a better option, but we’re running out of time to choose it. A diplomatic solution is still on the table. Russia has proposed extending observance of the treaty’s limits while negotiating a longer-term deal, and President Trump himself has said he supports maintaining these limits. Keeping New START’s limits on the table would help keep nuclear risks in check today while buying time for a long-term solution — but it’ll require sustained pressure and action from Congress, which is why lawmakers need to hear from you now. Time is running out. Click “Start Writing” to send a message to your Senators and Representatives urging Congress to publicly support U.S.-Russia negotiations to maintain New START limits and verification measures, and to oppose any resumption of U.S. explosive nuclear testing. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/choose-peace-over-arms-race
