Stop Donald Trump from starting a nuclear war!

Donald Trump just suspended a nuclear arms treaty with Russia. After costing nearly $11 billion dollars in damage because of the shutdown, we can't have Trump's tantrums also dictating our global policies.

If Trump decides to launch a nuclear weapon - even if we’re not under attack - there’s nothing that can stop him. That’s because under the current law, once the President says “go," there’s just 4 minutes until launch. It’s a crazy dangerous system that was started in the Cold War to defend against an incoming attack, but is totally unnecessary today.

Thankfully there’s something we can do about it. Right now, members of Congress, in the House and the Senate, have introduced legislation to prevent the U.S. president from launching a nuclear war without a declaration of war by Congress. While the President would still be able to defend from an attack against America, they could no longer launch the deadliest weapons ever invented just because they wanted to.

Unfortunately, right now Congress is just continuing to act like Donald Trump is a normal president who can be trusted with normal powers. But we know that’s not true, and enough of us demand Congress take action, we can jolt them into action.

Donald Trump has shocked the nation with his flagrant disregard for our national security. From stepping over the country’s top intelligence experts to appoint Bannon to the NSC, to receiving confidential security briefings while an army officer carried the “nuclear football” around in plain sight and earshot of paying members of his Key Largo club - his behavior is not rational or safe. No one who behaves this recklessly should have the ability to launch a war that would kill everyone on the planet.

We need your help to pressure Congress to stop a Trump nuclear disaster. Sign our petition and tell Congress you support "No First Use" legislation to make America and the world safer by prohibiting the president from unilaterally starting a nuclear war.
