New Cold War, New Anti-Nuclear Activism

The nuclear freeze movement of the early 1980s demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to influence national defense and security policy at the height of the Cold War.
Today, the world is threatened by a new global arms race as the United States, Russia, China, and other nuclear weapons states are rebuilding and enhancing their arsenals, including new missile deployments. In the face of worsening nuclear dangers, grassroots movements are once again advocating for nuclear disarmament and justice.
This webinar will discuss the efforts and impact of local government officials, religious leaders, and international networks to amplify concerns about national nuclear policies and their economic, environmental, health, and cultural consequences. It will also examine the prospects for launching a new global nuclear freeze movement. Join us on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET.
Speakers:
Hirokazu Miyazaki, the Kay Davis Professor of Anthropology at Northwestern University
David Cortright, professor emeritus of the practice, Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies
