1/ On June 12, 1982, over 1 million people converged in Central Park and marched on to the UN demanding an end to nuclear weapons. The largest protest in American history, the rally brought together hundreds of organizations united for global peace. 44 years later, that call is still urgent. #NuclearBan #CentralParkRally

2/ To mark the anniversary, check out Shades of Disarmament, a short documentary by NAPF's @ReverseTT_ youth initiative spotlighting the activists of color who were there in 1982. It explores the intersection of nuclear disarmament, environmental justice, and human rights. ➡️ youtu.be/FAth0d2XxYg

3/ On this anniversary, we honor Cora Weiss, who helped organize the June 12 rally as Director of the Riverside Church's Disarmament Program. A lifelong peace activist, she worked with Women Strike for Peace in the 1960s, mobilized against the Vietnam War, and served as President of the Hague Appeal for Peace.

#OTD in 1963, President John F. Kennedy’s commencement address at American University marked a pivotal moment in the nuclear age. At a time when Cold War tensions were high, Kennedy called for open dialogue, mutual understanding, and arms control in hopes of de-escalation. During his speech, the president recognized that nuclear weapons posed a shared threat to humanity. This idea directly reflects the mission of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation: reducing nuclear dangers while promoting a safer world through diplomacy, cooperation, and the pursuit of nuclear disarmament.

This #WorldOceansDay we remember the lasting damage done by US nuclear testing in the Bikini Atoll and throughout the Pacific. Our oceans are at the frontlines of the nuclear age, from nuclear testing, to nuclear armed submarines, waste contamination, and missiles lost at sea.

"The Partial Test Ban Treaty came months after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Reagan and Gorbachev acted on the heels of Able Archer. Real progress happens during real crisis — and this is that moment." @IvanaNHughes and Prof. Peter Kuznick join @PLottaz of Neutrality Studies to break down the NPT review conference, first strike doctrine, Trump's unchecked launch authority, and whether the nuclear ban treaty can deliver.

At the 2026 #NPT Review Conference, States Parties to the treaty FAILED to reach consensus and adopt an outcome document for a third consecutive cycle. The last time an NPT outcome document was adopted successfully was 2010.

Waiting for the outcome of the #NPT Review Conference feels like being in a hospital waiting room to learn if a loved one's surgery was successful.

The #NPT RevCon ends today, but we've been here throughout the four weeks engaging with States and civil society to push the Treaty towards an outcome that reflects the urgency of disarmament. Watch some of our delegates talk about their takeaways and highlights from earlier in the month!⬇️

🆕News: SGI is at the #NPT2026 Review Conference in New York, the key UN forum where nations assess progress on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation. On Apr. 30, SGI and the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation (@napf) co-organized a side event titled "Choose Hope", named after the dialogue between @daisakuikeda_of and David Krieger, founder of NAPF. The event addressed nuclear disarmament through the lens of the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons, and featured atomic bomb testimony from Nihon Hidankyo. On May 1, SGI and the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (@JamesMartinCNS), in cooperation with Permanent Mission of Austria to the UN, co-organized another event titled "Preventing Nuclear Use and Escalation: Lessons from Nuclear Close Calls" at the UN Headquarters. Speakers examined how past nuclear crises were narrowly avoided and strategies for advancing risk reduction and arms control. SGI also endorsed 4 joint civil society statements at the conference, including an interfaith statement signed by over 100 organizations calling on nations to make courageous decisions to protect future generations from nuclear weapons. #SokaGakkai #NPT #NPT2026 #NuclearAbolition #Interfaith #NPTRevConf
