In the last few months, the peace and justice movement has united and effectively fought back against racism, islamophobia, and militarism. We’re listening and responding to the people and one thing is clear: Americans don’t want Donald Trump to have supreme authority to launch a nuclear strike!
Right now, Trump has the power to start a nuclear catastrophe as quickly as he can send a tweet. Luckily, many people are working to change that, and two members of Congress, Rep. Ted Lieu and Sen. Ed Markey, have proposed urgent legislation to prevent the U.S. president from starting a nuclear war without a declaration of war by Congress.
Trump has threatened nuclear war and nuclear expansion repeatedly during and since his campaign. He has also proven that he has no idea what he is talking about when it comes to nuclear policy and that he is making an extremely deadly potential danger even worse. This situation also exposes the fact that the problem isn’t just Trump, it’s a fatal flaw in the design of the system meant to prevent nuclear war and it must be changed. No one person, no President, should have the ability to trigger a nuclear war!
