Nuclear Disarmament

Upper Hudson Peace Action recognizes that the proliferation of nuclear weapons is detrimental to the cause of international peace and humanity's sustainability, and thus, advocates for the disarmament of these weapons by all nations. The threat posed by these weapons is unprecedented, for their possible use in any war has the potential to destroy entire populations, and possibly society all together.

While Upper Hudson Peace Action recognizes that nuclear weapons should be dismantled, we also recognize that the proliferation of nuclear weapons in conjunction with imperialist and hegemonic foreign policy constitute the core catalyst of nuclear weapons proliferation in other nations around the world. While our nation intimidates other nations internationally, and wages war on them due to their pursuit of nuclear weapons technology, we embark on expensive and expansive endeavors to increase our own arsenal of nuclear warheads. Undoubtedly, this is a poor and hypocritical example to set to the entire world, for our so called pursuit for a "nuclear free world".
