Nuclear Freeze Campaign In the early 1980s, millions of Europeans and Americans worked to end the nuclear arms race. People marched even in the Soviet Union, where they passed the U.S. Embassy to make sure that news of their demonstration could not be censored. Here 750,000 march in New York City in 1982. The movement pushed Reagan and Gorbachev toward the nuclear arms limitation treaty signed in 1987.
