BftB is proud to announce that the National Baptist Convention of America has endorsed Back from the Brink. The endorsement followed a presentation by Dr. Ira Helfand on September 14 at the 143rd annual session of the National Baptist Convention of America International, Inc. in Dallas, TX.

Faith-based organizations and leaders continue to be strong, active supporters of Back from the Brink and a nuclear weapons free world. In a recent Common Dreams op-ed “US Lawmakers should lead from faith-based leaders demanding elimination of Nuclear Weapons” BftB Steering Committee member Danny Hall, notes that “Eleven national faith groups, including the National Council of Churches (NCC), the largest ecumenical body in the U.S., marked the July 16 anniversary of the 1945 Trinity test in New Mexico by signing an interfaith letter to Congress calling for several actions, including co-sponsorship of House Resolution 77 (H. Res. 77), which supports the goals and provisions of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.”

He continues:

“The Congressional resolution mirrors the policy prescriptions called for by the nationwide grassroots Back from the Brink campaign, a coalition of individuals, organizations, and elected officials working to fundamentally change U.S. nuclear weapons policy. The campaign has been endorsed by over 150 faith-based organizations, including the Episcopal Church, Friends Committee on National Legislation, Islamic Society of North America, Pax Christi-USA, Presbyterian Church, Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association, Soka Gakkai International-USA, United Church of Christ Justice and Witness Ministries, and United Methodist General Board of Church and Society.”

Back from the Brink is grateful for the active and impactful participation of faith-based organizations in our coalition and campaign.
