We, the Dominican Sisters of Hope and Associates, call upon the United States Government to lead the way for global abolition of nuclear weapons of mass destruction by adopting a plan to lock down, reduce, and eliminate nuclear weapons of mass destruction.

We call for immediate development, adoption, and implementation of a plan that will ensure that there will be no new nuclear weapons, and no testing of nuclear weapons.

We will work with all people of good will until there is no chance that a nuclear weapon of mass destruction can come into the hands of anyone wishing to do harm.
