Hi Friends,

A world with nuclear weapons and unchallenged lawlessness by the Trump administration is a very dangerous world! New START, the last bilateral treaty limiting U.S. and Russian nuclear arsenals, is about to expire. Now is the time to demand that both countries agree to save the treaty and stop a new arms race.

This month, Defuse Nuclear War is organizing a week of action starting January 18 to demand that the United States and Russia renew the New Strategic Arms Control Treaty (New START), the last bilateral U.S.-Russian treaty limiting both countries’ nuclear arsenals, which expires after February 4, 2026.

Together, the U.S. and Russia have almost 90% of the world’s nuclear weapons, which are very much capable of destroying the world as we know it. If both countries agree to extend these limits, it represents a minimal step to stop a bad situation from getting worse. This matters, because every nuclear weapon, and every new weapons system, is an opportunity for a mistake, a rash decision, or a moment of overconfidence with unthinkable consequences.
