Spread the Nuclear Abolition Flame!

Help us send 23,000 letters (one for every nuclear weapon) to Presidents Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev urging them to abolish nuclear weapons.

The Abolition Flame campaign is a project of Abolition 2000 , a network of over 2,000 organizations in more than 90 countries working for a treaty to eliminate nuclear weapons within a time-bound framework.

Abolition 2000’s founding document sets out an eleven-point program for nuclear disarmament and calls for negotiations to eliminate nuclear weapons.

Inspired in part by “the ‘Hiroshima Flame’ kindled 57 years ago from embers of the U.S. atomic bombing of Japan, the Abolition Flame Campaign has the following goals:

• Promote time-bound negotiations for a Nuclear Weapons Convention to begin in 2010 and be completed by 2015, with the elimination of nuclear weapons completed by 2020 under strict and effective international control
• Support the United Nations Secretary General’s 5-point plan for nuclear disarmament
• Facilitate a global expression of support and provide a unifying message for nuclear abolition
• Call for meaningful progress at the 2010 NPT Review Conference
• Create an internet portal for international nuclear abolition activities leading to the NPT Review Conference in 2010
• Enlist the universal participation of all nations in the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), supporting its promotion of clean, safe energy as an alternative to nuclear and fossil fuels.

We encourage you to join Abolition 2000 and visit AbolitionFlame.org for updates on campaign events around the world. And, be sure to share with us your efforts to spread the abolition flame in your community, wherever you are. Together we can continue to work for a world free of nuclear weapons.
