Nuclear Freeze Movement

The Nuclear Freeze Movement was a grassroots effort in the 1980s advocating for the halt of nuclear weapons production and deployment. Its goal was to persuade superpowers like the United States and Soviet Union to permanently stop expanding their nuclear arsenals, reducing the risk of nuclear war and promoting global security. The movement gained widespread support through protests, petitions, and public awareness campaigns, emphasizing the catastrophic potential of nuclear conflict. It aimed for a mutual, verifiable freeze on nuclear weapons, encouraging diplomacy and arms control to prevent an arms race and protect future generations.
