CARNEGIE PROJECT
This public education and engagement project is generously funded by the Carnegie Corporation. By creating original written and multimedia content, we provide resources for the growing number of individuals who are interested in learning more about nuclear weapons. As this issue rises in political salience, we focus on reaching a diverse, multigenerational audience of civic-minded individuals. Our goal is to expand public understanding of nuclear weapons issues and policy, helping to create the conditions for increased dialogue, civic participation and activism on this pressing issue – and as a result, growing the public support needed for policy changes that will reduce nuclear risks and prevent nuclear war.
