Who We Are
Students for Nuclear Disarmament (SND) is a non-partisan coalition of students from across the globe dedicated to saving the world from nuclear weapons. We are liberals, we are conservatives, and we are everyone in between. We are a motivated group of young, vastly different people united by a common goal: the preservation of the human race.
Our generation needs to wake up. No, we have not lived through the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Cuban Missile Crisis, or the Cold War. Yet, we should not need to experience another nuclear disaster, or even come close to one, to educate ourselves and each other about the threat that these weapons pose to humanity, and to do everything we can to make meaningful change.
SND high school students accept the Youth Nuclear Abolition Award at IPPNW and GBPSR's Global Health and Peace Awards in October 2023.
Back from the Brink
We're proud partners of the Back from the Brink Campaign, a U.S.-based grassroots coalition of individuals, organizations, and elected officials working together on a multi-year campaign to rid the world of nuclear weapons and secure a set of common sense U.S. nuclear weapons policies that will make the world safer, healthier, and more just. SND chapters collaborate with Back from the Brink Hubs across the country in educating young people about the threat that nuclear weapons pose to humanity and advocating for the U.S. government to pursue those policies.
What We Do
Students for Nuclear Disarmament (SND) reaches as wide an audience as possible with the tools of the digital age. With social media platforms like Instagram, we post engaging infographics, videos, and other educational content targeting "Gen-Z". This website will be a more robust source of information about nuclear weapons, with resources about the history of arms control, current international efforts towards nuclear abolition, and much more.
SND also facilitates community-based advocacy across the world. The national Steering Committee is comprised of student leaders and advised by a group of industry-leading experts on activism and nuclear weapons and disarmament. The Committee supervises SND chapters at the local, school, and state/province levels that organize peaceful demonstrations, engage in digital advocacy, and urge lawmakers to make nuclear disarmament a top policy priority.
Brookline SND high school students stage a peaceful demonstration at the Massachusetts State House in Boston, MA. March 2024.
ICAN
Students for Nuclear Disarmament is also an official partner of the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize-winning International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN). ICAN is organization responsible for the historic Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. We work together to raise awareness about the growing threat of nuclear war among young people not just in the United States, but around the whole world!
