Within hours of Presidents Obama and Medvedev signing the New START Treaty on April 8, Global Zero leaders held a press conference in Washington to urge ratification and launched a petition — generating more than 420 articles (with an estimated advertising value of 2,775,247 USD) and mainstream television coverage and more than 200,000 signatures in less than a week. The petition campaign engaged a dozen organizations, including Avaaz, Move On, the New Evangelical Partnership, True Majority, Physicians for Social Responsibility, ICAN, Vote Vets and others.
Over the past six months, Global Zero has attracted worldwide media attention, including more than 3,251 articles in 80 countries with an estimated advertising value of 15,583,204 USD and extensive television coverage, including appearances by Global Zero leaders on The Daily Show, Bill Maher, Good Morning America, PBS's Charlie Rose, Russia Today, MSNBC, CNN, BBC and many others.
Global Zero leaders engaged more than 100 organizations across the US and dozens of celebrities and musicians in promoting the film and Global Zero, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Meg Ryan, REM, the Dave Matthews Band, Pearl Jam and many others.
