Dear Friends,
When we launched Global Zero last December, even the most optimistic among us could not have imagined how far we'd come in just eight months. We wanted to share with you some of the highlights of the Global Zero campaign so far. To see what we've done, look at pictures, videos, and new ways to get involved, just scroll down or click on the link below:

We've come a long way but much remains to be done. We're in this for the long haul-and we need you with us all the way to the finish line.
Thank you for being part of the solution.
Galit, Cristina, Nate, Jessica, Caitlin, Volha, Ameer, Mohamed and the entire Global Zero team

Global Zero Grassroots Action
Achieving global zero will require an unprecedented worldwide grassroots campaign. Global Zero is involving citizens in innovative ways and providing the support they need to educate and organize their communities, workplaces and schools.
We partnered with Avaaz.org at key global decision-making moments. When President Obama gave his historic speech in Prague and called on other nations to join him in working towards a nuclear-free world, Avaaz members in France sent 23,000 emails to President Sarkozy urging him to participate in multi-lateral negotiations for global zero. This July, before the Obama/Medvedev Summit, over 100, 000 people from every country in the world signed the Global Zero declaration in just three days. This kind of growth can only be achieved if all of us take a minute to tell our friends and family about Global Zero. If you haven't done so, please use our simple tool to invite your friends and family to join our cause.
We are also providing a new generation with advocacy and media trainings from top practitioners and the opportunity to become Global Zero campus leaders. The leadership training enables outstanding young leaders to educate and organize others in their schools and build the foundation for a massive global grassroots campaign for zero.
To start a Global Zero chapter, organize or attend a Global Zero event in your city or town, or find out ways to be more involved with the campaign, click here.
Educating the public
We know that achieving Global Zero will also require educating the global public about the nuclear threat and why eliminating nuclear weapons is the only answer. In the past six months, Global Zero leaders have spread the message to students in the United States, Europe and the Middle East, with more events planned worldwide in the next six months.
We have also developed a state of the art interactive online video. If you haven't seen the Global Zero interactive maps, please click below:
