TAKE ACTION ON H.RES. 317
URGE YOUR LOCAL AND STATE ELECTED OFFICIALS TO SHOW LEADERSHIP & TELL CONGRESS TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT
Israel, the United States & Iran, Russia and Ukraine, India and Pakistan, China and Taiwan. Wars and global tensions abound among nuclear-armed nations. If there ever was a moment to step back from the nuclear brink, now is it. Who’s going to step up and tell Washington it’s time to get serious about addressing the growing risks of nuclear war? It’s up to us — we the people and those we elect to keep our communities safe.
Back from the Brink has initiated a sign-on letter for local, county, and state elected officials to urge U.S. House members show moral and political leadership by cosponsoring H. Res. 317, a resolution introduced by Reps Jim McGovern (MA-03) and Jill Tokuda (HI-02) which provides a comprehensive framework for a safer, nuclear weapons free world.
We need mayors, governors, city and town councilors, county commissioners and state legislators from around the country to join together and help build disarmament leadership in Congress. Nuclear weapons are a local issue and preventing nuclear war is your community’s concern.
Please find your state below, take action, and share widely. Your message will be sent to your municipal, county, and state representatives.
We encourage everyone to take the action associated with your state which will send your message to your governor, state legislators and county officials. But if you live in a city or town with fewer than 10,000 people, your municipal officials will not receive your message, so you should also contact them using either this sample email or this sample phone script. You can use this tool to find the names and contact information for your town or city officials.
If you live in Washington, D.C., please use this page to send a message to your municipal representatives.
