 In spite of the number of prominent cultural figures and artists who were involved in PAND collectives and affiliated with PAND sponsored events, there is little formal information available about the collectives themselves, their governance, and what factors contributed to their eventual dissolution.This lack of documentation may reflect the rhizomic nature of these groups or a diminishing cultural interest in nuclear disarmament campaigns.Cartoonist and author, Jules Feiffer founded the New York City PAND chapter in collaboration with other prominent New York artists including Robert Altman, Harry Belafonte, Jill Clayburgh, Eliot Feld and Harold Prince in 1982 in order to "'mobilize people in the performing arts to use their skills, talents and public access to halt the ongoing drive toward mass destruction."
