The End Wars and Occupations team is working to educate the public about the need to stop making nuclear weapons. If people knew how horrific the nuke danger is, they’d all be calling their members of Congress and the Biden administration and loudly demanding a stop to it.

Nuclear weapons are immoral. President Biden has said nuclear weapons should never be used, and a nuclear war should never be fought. The president is Catholic. Pope Francis has said we must abolish nuclear weapons, and to possess them is immoral.

But the US possesses thousands of nuclear bombs. Each one could incinerate a city in an instant, killing millions. We have enough nukes to annihilate all life on earth.

We must begin eliminating them.

So why are we making more of them? Nuclear bomb core production at Los Alamos National Lab is ramping up now, in order to be making 30 new nuclear bomb cores per year by 2026, and 80 per year by 2030.

Making nuclear weapons is a waste of money. Each bomb core costs $50 million to produce. That’s 667 nurses’ salaries.
The whole nuclear weapons “modernization” program is estimated at $634 billion in this decade. It would only cost $20 billion to end homelessness in the US.

Making nuclear weapons is dangerous. To produce them requires processing tons of extremely toxic radioactive plutonium, the most dangerous substance known. All this bomb-making is taking place in a perilous location – Los Alamos, NM, which is in an earthquake hazard zone. Plus, Los Alamos is threatened by wildfires every summer. If there’s a nuclear catastrophe, widespread radioactive contamination will result, and persist for thousands of years.

We have to dissuade President Biden from this apocalyptic plan to increase production of nuclear weapons. He must instead require their elimination. Los Alamos National Lab should be repurposed toward disabling our current nuclear stockpile and cleaning up the waste from previous nuclear weapons projects.

Citizens must speak up now and stop further production of nuclear weapons.

Will you contact the White House now? Tell President Biden:

MAKING NUCLEAR WEAPONS IS IMMORAL, WASTEFUL, AND DANGEROUS.
HALT THEIR PRODUCTION IMMEDIATELY.

Please go to the White House comment page: https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ and enter your contact information and a brief comment.

Then, please call your representative’s and senators’ offices and tell them to put an end to nuclear weapons production.
