Jesse Jackson Gave Peace a Chance The iconic civil rights leader, who has died at 84, made anti-war and pro-diplomacy politics central to his presidential bids and his lifelong activism.

“Leadership must face the moral challenge of our day. The nuclear war build-up is irrational…Let's give peace a chance.” -Reverend Jesse Jackson

We honor Rev. Jackson, a civil rights legend who believed in disarmament and peace.

Monks walking for peace draw massive crowd in Richmond. Final stop: D.C. Nineteen Buddhist monks drew massive crowds through downtown Richmond on Monday as Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) welcomed their message of peace. Next stop: Washington, D.C.

So many of us are thirsting for peace and non-violence.

Let's demand it for ourselves, our communities, and our world.

We're inspired by these folks taking to the streets and calling for the peace we all deserve.

The New START treaty, the last remaining limit on U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons, expires TODAY.

We’re sleepwalking into a dangerous new arms race.

Let's urge Congress to co-sponsor H.Res. 317 and S. Res. 323 and keep our communities safe.

Opinion | Let the Arms Race Begin

If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read.

Two new signatures!

Thanks for becoming a co-sponsor @hankjohnson.house.gov (D-GA) and @whipkclark.bsky.social (D-MA).

🔥Keep it going. Contact your congressional member TODAY and urge them to sign H. Res. 317: Preventnuclearwar.org/bftb-congressional-resolutions/

The Doomsday Clock and Nuclear Reality: Our World in Peril | Common Dreams A breakdown of international nuclear norms, fueled by “us versus them” thinking and the newly termed “Donroe Doctrine” challenges our legitimacy around the world.

The Doomsday Clock tells us how close we are to catastrophe.

But it doesn’t tell us what happens next.

As our Lead Capitol Hill Representative Danny Hall shares, we decide what's next.

Doomsday Clock 2026: Scientists set new time | CNN The new Doomsday Clock time has been set by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Here’s what it means.

With the Doomsday Clock at 89 seconds to midnight, the nuclear risk is real. As a cosponsor of H.Res.317, I believe Congress must restore arms control, rebuild diplomacy, and show visionary leadership. We need a world free of nuclear weapons.
