The Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) has launched its “Make Nukes History” campaign in Los Angeles, just in time for the 2024 Oscars. The campaign is centered around the nominated film Oppenheimer, which sheds light on the dangers of nuclear weapons.
To spread awareness, the campaign includes billboards, street posters, and an art installation, along with an open letter signed by celebrities such as Jane Fonda, Tony Goldwyn, and Michael Douglas. Matthew Modine, a member of the Oppenheimer cast, emphasizes the importance of educating the public about the devastating impact of nuclear weapons.
Oppenheimer, a Best Picture nominee, delves into the creation of nuclear weapons and the subsequent emotional and political repercussions. The art installation, set up by TaskForce at the Original Farmers Market on March 8, aims to educate the public about the dangers of nuclear weapons and rally support for the global effort to eliminate them.
The United Nations has issued a warning, stating that the risk of nuclear weapons use is currently at its highest since the Cold War. Campaigns like “Make Nukes History” are crucial in raising awareness and mobilizing action towards a world free of nuclear threats. Celebrities and activists are calling on global leaders to prioritize disarmament and make nuclear weapons a thing of the past.
