Nuclear Age Peace Foundation

We aim to stop the "modernization" of nuclear arsenals in the United States and other nuclear-armed nations. We work to promote peaceful resolutions to potentially catastrophic conflicts, such as the one between the United States and North Korea. We collaborate with partners around the world to promote the new Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and ensure its full implementation.

Our ultimate goal is to achieve a negotiated agreement for the phased, verifiable, irreversible and transparent elimination of nuclear weapons at the earliest possible time.

Attend meetings at the United Nations, work with diplomats from countries that are party to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, organize events to educate and advocate for the TPNW, and lobby leadership of countries that have yet to join the treaty.

Send out periodic action alerts to our email list enabling them to write and/or call their elected officials about key nuclear-related issues. Travel to Washington, DC and state capitals to directly lobby elected officials. Identify and collaborate with senators and representatives who are willing to address nuclear weapons issues. Create briefing materials for the public, Congress, and the United Nations.

NAPF's efforts for the abolition of nuclear weapons has a 40 year history and experience in effective education and advocacy work. The Founding President, David Krieger, and the current President, Ivana Hughes, are both recognized as global leaders in the movement. Our active and engaged membership of 50,000 people continues to grow and speak out in public and to their elected officials.

In 2017, NAPF was an active participant at the United Nations in the negotiations for the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. With our input, the treaty was adopted by 122 nations and is currently in the process of gathering signatories. In late 2017, the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, of which NAPF is a Partner Organization, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for our efforts in achieving this groundbreaking treaty. The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons entered into force in 2021 and has held a First Meeting of States Parties, which we attended and participated in. We are currently preparing for the Second Meeting of States Parties and working on strengthening the treaty by getting more countries to join it and implementation of its provisions, particularly on humanitarian consequences of nuclear use and testing.
