Back to Nuclear Abolition Campaigns

Getting There from Here: The Campaign

Because of the necessity to inform Americans and their leaders of this situation and to share the solutions, about 150 organizations have signed on to a Carbon-Free, Nuclear-Free Statement of Principles, and around 40 of these have come together to create a campaign for a Carbon-Free, Nuclear-Free (CFNF) future. The campaign seeks to garner a U.S. commitment to a carbon-free, nuclear-free energy system and policies that would bring it about by the middle of this century. Organizations have formed a CFNF Alliance to promote a carbon-free nuclear-free future for the U.S. by educating and mobilizing the public, business leaders and policy makers.

Joining the Alliance
The only requirement for Alliance membership is signing the statement of principles, which you have already done (national Peace Action has, but we are encouraging chapters and affiliates to do so as well). Membership means agreement to the pledge in principle, and participating in activities as appropriate.

For more information on the Roadmap, joining the Alliance, or to schedule a briefing with the book’s author, please contact Jennifer Nordstrom:

We must act now to prevent catastrophic global warming. In this moment, we are deciding what the world we want to live in looks like. Carbon-free, nuclear-free is offering a map for how to act—not just react—to create a world that is free of fossil fuels and nuclear energy. Over the last year, carbon-free, nuclear-free has grown and evolved beyond our expectations. People are seizing CFNF because it is a concrete plan for the new world we want to live in, energized by the sun and the wind instead of cancer-causing coal and nuclear power. We hope you will join us.
