Stop a Nuclear Arms Race

The world is standing at a dangerous crossroads. As we enter the New Year, we are just weeks away from the expiration of the New START Treaty—the last remaining guardrail preventing an all-out nuclear arms race between the U.S. and Russia. This is just one of many broken relationships in the world today. To meet this fraught moment, Pope Leo has given us a vision for peace. 

Pope Leo’s Message for Peace 

Don’t miss Pope Leo’s message for the World Day of Peace. Describing the peace of Christ as “unarmed and disarming,” Leo presents a call to action centered on the concept of “disarmament”—not just of weapons, but of the human heart and modern technology. This prophetic call is what the world desperately needs right now—a world that is on the brink of a new nuclear arms race. 

Take Action

Click here to tell Congress to speak out for extending the New START Treaty and reopening negotiations with Russia. If this treaty expires on February 5, 2026, there will be no legal limits on the world’s two largest nuclear arsenals for the first time in decades. 

We cannot wait until February 4 to raise our voices. We need a groundswell of public pressure to ensure that members of Congress publicly support extending the treaty and demand a return to the negotiating table. 

Please send a message to Congress today.
