Disarm/End Wars Issue Committee
From November 6 to December 13, every weekday is a “Ban Nuclear Weapons” national call-in day! WILPF-US, NuclearBan.US, Code Pink, and World Beyond War urge you to call your representative to promote the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, and to support moving the money from nuclear weapons and other arms industries to carbon-free, nuclear-free energy production, environmental restoration, health care, education, housing, and other human needs.
Please take just five minutes to call your representatives DC Office at 202-224-3121, and say, please co-sponsor HR-2419, the “Nuclear Weapons Abolition and Economic and Energy Conversion Act” introduced by Eleanor Holmes Norton!
Even better, ask for a face-to-face meeting with your representative when he or she is at home, so you can explain in person why HR-2419 is so important for the future of your community, and for the world!
You can find the text of the bill, and sign an online letter asking for co-sponsorship, at http://bit.ly/prop1petitionand you can learn about the history of the legislation at http://prop1.org.
Download and read Warheads to Windmills: How to Pay for a Green New Deal by NuclearBan.US for an analysis of how to make this happen!
And please, when you call, let us know who you talked to, and what was the result! Email me at et@prop1.org
