Chain Reaction: Securing Our Future

Ploughshares Fund

You&#x27;re invited to Ploughshares Fund&#x27;s annual gala, Chain Reaction. The global COVID-19 pandemic has made clear the need to reprioritize the policies that keep our citizens safe. We will examine threats to our global community—nuclear weapons, climate change, and now pandemics—with some of the top experts and political leaders in the nation. We will explore trends and transitions in national security and challenge the politics of US foreign policy and government budgets. Featuring:Joe Cirincione, President of Ploughshares FundA welcome message by Speaker Nancy Pelosi Ploughshares Fund Advisor Michael DouglasA keynote panel by the Science &amp; Security Board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists:<ul><li>Rachel Bronson, President and CEO, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists</li><li>Governor Jerry Brown, Executive Chairman of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and former Governor of California</li><li>Asha George, Executive Director of the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense</li><li>Sharon Squassoni, Director of Global Security Program at the Union of Concerned Scientists</li></ul>Former Secretary of Defense William J. Perry in conversation with Ploughshares Fund Director of Policy Tom Collina about their upcoming book The ButtonTristan Guyette (National Field Manager), Molly Hurley (Fellowship Associate), and members of the BombSquad, a fellowship program at Beyond the Bomb. A series of events so related to each other that each one initiates the next is known as a Chain Reaction. Every year we gather leaders in our field, devoted partners, and new advocates to generate a nexus of ideas, opportunities, and strategies to advance nuclear policy and promote the elimination of nuclear weapons. We hope you’ll join us this year – and each year following – and be a key ingredient in our formula for change.Chain Reaction CommitteePhil Ames | John Feikema | Connie Foote | Pamela Hamrick | Kevin Holmes | Victoria Lilienthal | Lisille Matheson | Rachel Pike | Lee Ali Shirani | Daniel U.
