The MIT Chapter of Global Zero believes that nuclear weapons should have no place in the international community. We believe progress can be made in changing the inclination toward military nuclear capabilities. This progress will only come from honest and informed conversations. MIT GZ seeks to provide a forum for discussion about the requirements to achieving complete and sustained disarmaments on the international level.
Located at MIT in Cambridge, MA, our mission is to tap into the local brain-trust at MIT and the surrounding institutions. Bringing together interested students, faculty and staff, we aim to debunk myths, reveal truths and foster new understanding about the complexities to achieving 'zero', in hopes of breeding a generation that believes in its potential and to produce tangible steps towards 'zero'.
