"When I met my first grandchild, I realized that during her lifetime she will see nuclear weapons expelled from the human community. The health and security of our families is the foremost imperative in reducing weapons of mass destruction, and women should be front and center in this critical fight. Women's voices must be heard in the debate that can build long lasting security for the U.S. - and countries around the globe - by ridding the world of nuclear weapons once and for all. Help us strengthen women's leadership on national security issues. Make your granddaughters proud! Make your voice heard! JOIN PLOUGHSHARES FUND'S MOTHER'S DAY FOR PEACE CAMPAIGN!"

"This year, I am pleased to be a part of Julia’s Circle to honor my mother, Evelyn Stephens, who passed away last year just shy of her 96th birthday. My mother was a woman full of compassion, community, creativity, faith and peace, setting a great example to follow. What was not accomplished for peace in her generation must be accomplished now! There is no place on our planet for nuclear weapons. Please join me in supporting Ploughshares this Mother’s Day to insure a world free of nuclear weapons for generations to come."

"I’m joining the effort for a nuclear free world because nuclear weapons do not make us safer, and instead make us increasingly vulnerable. The limited taxpayer resources spent on costly nuclear weapons programs would be far more effective if invested in proven initiatives that enhance global security and promote human wellbeing."

"I grew up with a father who was passionately against nuclear weapons and was a part of President Carter's Salt II conference. It was clear to me at an early age the danger to our world presented by nuclear weapons and my goal in life these days is to help find ways to remove the threat of nuclear weapons from all of our lives. Ploughshares Fund is a key player in this effort which is why I support this organization."

"The barriers to acquiring nuclear weapons are falling away, and the old two-nation nuclear deterrence model is giving way to a risky multi-national one, complete with unstable governments and inadequate protections against terrorist sabotage. Mutual non-proliferation and disarmament are clearly in our best interests. The global reality of this new century demands that we understand the ways in which our nuclear weapons are a security liability."
