About the campaign

With 13 Oscar nominations, Oppenheimer led this year’s Academy Awards with the most nominations and took home Best Picture. #MakeNukesHistory reminds us that while Oppenheimer is history, nuclear weapons aren’t–but they should be.

The film’s powerful ending underscores the chain reaction set off by the Manhattan Project, from the shock of the first blast to today’s threats with images of modern nuclear weapons. In a time of extreme risks–even one nuclear weapon is too many.

#MakeNukesHistory broke through the Oscar noise to raise awareness and build understanding that, together, we can end what Oppenheimer started.
