Thanks for signing! The humanitarian situation in Ukraine is deteriorating,
and the chances of the conflict escalating into a nuclear war are
frightening.

Dear friends,
His Holiness the Dalai Lama, International Physicians for the Prevention of
Nuclear War, and other Nobel Peace Prize Laureates have launched *a
historic call to reject war and nuclear weapons. Now they are asking Avaaz
and citizens around the world to join* them in protecting our planet.

*Let's all sign and share now* -- when it's huge, they will deliver our
voices for peace to key leaders from the Russian Federation, NATO, and the
media:

Open Letter From Nobel Peace Prize Laureates and Citizens of the World
Against War and Nuclear Weapons
*We reject war and nuclear weapons*

*. We call on all our fellow citizens of the world to join us in protecting
our planet, home for all of us, from those who threaten to destroy it.The
invasion of Ukraine has created a humanitarian disaster for its people. The
entire world is facing the greatest threat in history: a large-scale
nuclear war, capable of destroying our civilization and causing vast
ecological damage across the Earth.We call for an immediate ceasefire and
the withdrawal of all Russian military forces from Ukraine, and for all
possible efforts at dialogue to prevent this ultimate disaster.We call on
Russia and NATO to explicitly renounce any use of nuclear weapons in this
conflict, and we call on all countries to support the Treaty on the
Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons to ensure that we never again face a similar
moment of nuclear danger.The time to ban and eliminate nuclear weapons is
now. It is the only way to guarantee that the inhabitants of the planet
will be safe from this existential threat. It is either the end of nuclear
weapons, or the end of us. We reject governance through imposition and
threats, and we advocate for dialogue, coexistence and justice. A world
without nuclear weapons is necessary and possible, and together we will
build it. It is urgent that we give peace a chance.*
