Dear Friend --

Moments ago, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist set the Doomsday Clock to 90 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been. We are at the most dangerous moment in time since the Doomsday Clock was launched in 1947. So this year’s Clock announcement must not be followed by the usual hand wringing, resignation and excuses, but urgent action to avoid nuclear war.

Today, many people will be looking for information about the size of the danger we’re facing and how to get involved in stopping it. Will you help them find us?

It’s 90 seconds to midnight! The @BulletinAtomic #DoomsdayClock is sounding a global alarm that we can’t afford to ignore any longer. But there’s a plan to protect humanity from nuclear war. Demand real action to end nuclear weapons. #nuclearban  Tweet Now

Let’s be clear: This dangerous moment hasn’t come about by accident, the nine nuclear armed states and the supporters of nuclear weapons have knowingly put us in this grave danger. The world renowned scientists and experts at the Bulletin are sounding the alarm because "Russia’s thinly veiled threats to use nuclear weapons remind the world that escalation of the conflict—by accident, intention, or miscalculation—is a terrible risk. The possibility that the conflict could spin out of anyone’s control remains high.”

So now, we need to demand these states start discussing how they will disarm, now. The UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons provides a framework for new negotiations. Now, we need everyone on board.

The Doomsday Clock is more than just a measure of risk, it is a call to action. We hope you will help us make sure everyone hears that call.

Thank you,
