US-RUSSIA INITIATIVES

We are focusing our efforts on reducing the escalating nuclear danger between the US and Russia, the two countries with over 90% of the world’s nuclear weapons.  Despite deep political differences – over Russiagate, Ukraine, Syria (and in other areas) – we champion engagement, dialogue and cooperation between Americans and Russians through Track II and Track 1.5 diplomacy,  people-to-people contacts, cultural exchange, education, film, print and social media, and mediation efforts, including negotiation/mediation training on how to deal constructively with our differences for experts and future experts in both countries - young people who intend to dedicate their lives to nuclear nonproliferation and US-Russian relations.
