We want to acknowledge the pioneering efforts of David Culp, who played a central role in establishing the Nuclear Calendar as a beacon of knowledge and awareness. David’s dedication and passion for a world free from the threat of nuclear annihilation were truly inspiring, and we are grateful for his invaluable contributions.
Additionally, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI), Ploughshares Fund, and the individual contributors and supporters of the Friends Committee on National Legislation and the FCNL Education Fund who supported the Nuclear Calendar throughout its existence.
