Alongside its writing and resources, Peace Source described a central undertaking, a project to turn scattered goodwill into coordinated action. This page preserves that original statement of purpose from 2008.
The Idea
"The main project," the founder wrote, "is open peace collaboration on a web documentary as a spearhead for lobbying." The model was explicit: do for nuclear disarmament what Al Gore's climate advocacy had done for the environment, use a single, well-made film as the rallying point for a much larger movement.
The reasoning was that Gore had "demonstrated that we can get people to work together." A documentary made in the open, by volunteers, could carry a message that no single organisation owned and that no commercial interest could dilute.
The Message
The project kept its argument deliberately narrow. Nuclear disarmament, it insisted, "is the most important issue", one that "eclipses global warming," because a nuclear winter is no solution to a warming planet. The single line meant for every world leader was this: we need nuclear disarmament for the sake of all our children.
Behind that appeal sat a concrete concern: the failure of the nuclear powers to honour the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Peace Source read that failure as the quiet driver pushing the world "to the brink of nuclear catastrophe," and treated restoring the treaty's promises as the practical heart of the campaign.
The Invitation
The closing note was a call to organise. Readers were asked to "form local groups and share events, interests" and to link the effort outward to other social networks so that it could grow. It was participation, not spectatorship, the same open-collaboration spirit described in our About PAND page, and continued in the wider nuclear disarmament archive.
