The Council for a Livable World is a non-partisan non-profit organization based in Washington, DC. Founded in 1962 by Manhattan Project nuclear physicist Leo Szilard, the Council advocates for policies to reduce and eventually eliminate nuclear weapons. Through political action, lobbying, and supporting candidates who share their goals, the Council works to minimize the risk of nuclear war and create a world free from nuclear threats.
With decades of experience in shaping Congress and nuclear policy, the Council has helped elect over 400 members who support smart nuclear arms control and non-proliferation policies. They promote key national security legislation and advocate for a No First Use policy, recognizing the dangers of nuclear weapons and the need for responsible policies. Additionally, the Council highlights the twin threats of nuclear weapons and climate change, emphasizing the importance of preventing both existential risks to life on Earth.
