Northwest Against Nuclear Weapons (NWANW) is the only regional coalition that aims to reduce and eliminate all components of the 2 trillion dollar rebuild of the US nuclear weapons arsenal. Our ultimate goal is to prevent nuclear war and abolish nuclear weapons worldwide.

Founded and coordinated by Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility, NWANW's primary purpose is to build a nuclear weapons abolition movement powerful enough to sway our state leaders and congressional leaders to take meaningful action around peace, arms control, nuclear justice, and nuclear weapons abolition while redirecting the resources for these weapons of mass destruction towards the needs of working people.

To make this effort effective, we believe it is essential to build a diverse and united coalition of Northwest organizations.
