79 Religious Groups Oppose Nuclear Bomb Plant; Call for Nuclear Disarmament . . .

(WASHINGTON, DC) -- Seventy-nine Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, and Muslim groups have joined together to reject administration plans to reactivate the U.S. nuclear weapons infrastructure and build new nuclear bomb plant facilities, Faithful Security announced today. In a formal letter to the Energy Department, religious organizations from across the country called instead for the United States to end new nuclear weapons production and commit to multilateral disarmament. >>

ABOUT FAITHFUL SECURITY  

On the 60th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, and Nagasaki, religious people from a variety of traditions came together and formed a new group committed to building a world free of nuclear weapons. The Churches' Center for Theology and Public Policy and the Fourth Freedom Forum committed to staffing this new organization, and Rev. William Sloane Coffin provided the vision.

Now, Faithful Security, the National Religious Partnership on the Nuclear Weapons Danger, is a multi-faith coalition dedicated to raising the voice of U.S. religious communities toward a world free of nuclear weapons.

Who are we?

Faithful Security's partners range from Christian, Muslim, Jewish, and interfaith groups. (Click here for a list of our official partners.) We are also proud to ally with a wide range of local religious organizations who share our vision, and numerous individual people of faith.

What do we do?

The goal of Faithful Security is to work toward the permanent elimination of nuclear weapons by empowering religious communities to take action on a local level. It is our hope to provide you with the resources you need to learn about the nuclear weapons danger and take action to build a safer world for all of our brothers and sisters.

If you need any additional information, our staff organizers can connect you with films, fact sheets, and other resources to help you speak out about the need to break faith with nuclear weapons. Obviously we can't do this alone. It will take all of us-Jewish, Protestant, Shinto, Catholic, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist-and everyone who believes that human life is sacred.

 

How can I join?

Easy! Just sign up here for the Faithful Security email list. This low-traffic list will connect you with resources and opportunities for action. If you're interested in doing more, contact Faithful Security staff to discuss ways that you can team up with us to build a world free of nuclear weapons.
