Forty-six years ago, Karipbek was born in a small village, just miles from where the Soviet Union conducted more than 450 nuclear weapons tests. Those tests exposed his parents to radiation and resulted in Karipbek being born without arms. Karipbek has overcome many obstacles to become an anti-nuclear weapons activist and renowned artist, whose works have been shown around the world. Today, Karipbek often paints portraits of the victims of nuclear testing and, as honorary Ambassador to The ATOM Project, speaks out against nuclear weapons at conferences and events around the world, at venues such as the United Nations and the United States Congress.

The ATOM Project is an anti-nuclear weapons petition that will be delivered directly to leaders of countries who have nuclear weapons. The ATOM Project is committed to ending nuclear weapons testing and eliminating the world’s nuclear arsenals. Join Karipbek and sign our petition today to tell world leaders that you demand a world without nuclear weapons.

Existing nuclear weapons arsenals, the urgent danger of nuclear terrorism and the potential for emerging nations to develop more nuclear weapons continues to put our planet and humanity at risk. Sign The ATOM Project petition to eliminate nuclear arsenals and permanently end nuclear weapons testing to prevent the development of new arsenals. Your signature will be delivered directly to world leaders by anti-nuclear weapons advocate and President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev.

You, too, can speak directly to world leaders to prevent the development of new nuclear weapons and begin to rid the world of existing nuclear arsenals. Sign today.
