The Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, based in Washington, D.C., is a national nonpartisan 501c(3) nonprofit seeking to reduce nuclear weapons arsenals, halt the spread of nuclear weapons and minimize the risk of war by educating the public and policymakers. We focus heavily on education efforts to Members of Congress, Congressional staffers, the media and general public via public and private outreach.
