On Saturday, June 12, 1982, the largest disarmament rally in US history occurred in Central Park. As part of the "No Nukes" movement during the Cold War era, the Rally for Nuclear Disarmament, featured performances by Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, and Gary "U.S." Bonds. The event saw at least 750,000 attendees, and is one of the biggest rallies in US history. The rally committee organized the event around the United Nations Special Session on Disarmament in a bid to "call for a freeze and reduction of all nuclear weapons and a transfer of military budgets to human needs."
