Council for a Livable World

Council for a Livable World is a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit, non-partisan advocacy organization dedicated to reducing the danger of nuclear weapons and increasing national security. Its mission is to advocate for progressive national security policies and help elect congressional candidates who support then. The Council was founded in 1962 by eminent nuclear physicist Leo Szilard and other scientists who worked in the pioneer days of atomic weapons. Its sister organization, the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, provides detailed research to members of Congress and their staffs in order to give them the tools to make informed policy decisions on arms control and national security. Both organizations believe that the United States cannot effectively address the security challenges of the 21st century through Cold War era alarmist policies and seek out non-military solutions to international conflicts. Since 2008 the Council has tracked arms control and election developments on its blog, The Chain Reaction .
