Constituent request: Nuclear weapons are a local issue, please sign this letter

Dear [elected official],

Personalize your message

The horrific war in Israel and Gaza is the latest reminder that the world is a nuclear tinderbox—one bad decision or miscalculation away from nuclear war—and it’s well past time to get serious about getting rid of nuclear weapons.

At a time when our communities are grappling with life-threatening security challenges related to housing, jobs, transportation, food, and health care, our federal government is spending enormous amounts of our tax dollars, every hour, every day on nuclear weapons that make us less safe and do nothing to address these and other real-life challenges, in our communities and in the world.

And today, the threat of nuclear war is perhaps greater than it’s ever been—threatening all of us, all of humanity.

There is a safer path going forward. In late November, the 2nd Meeting of States Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), will be held in New York City. The TPNW is a big deal. Adopted at the United Nations  in July, 2017, the treaty bans the use, possession, testing, and transfer of nuclear weapons under international law. To date, 93 countries have signed the treaty and 69 have ratified it.

Unfortunately, the Biden administration (like the other 8 countries that possess nuclear weapons) actively opposes the treaty. I think that’s wrong-headed and this is where you come in.

Will you please sign this open letter https://preventnuclearwar.org/us-officials-letter-23/ to President Biden urging him to (1) send an observer delegation to the 2nd Meeting of States Parties (2MSP) to the TPNW and (2) to initiate negotiations with all nuclear weapons states toward a verifiable, timebound agreement to eliminate all nuclear weapons from the planet?

By signing it you will join a growing chorus of elected officials from around the country who are speaking out for nuclear disarmament and demanding action from Washington. The letter is organized by Back From the Brink (BftB): Bringing Communities Together to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, a U.S.-based grassroots coalition of individuals, civil society organizations, and elected officials working together on a multi-year campaign to rid the world of nuclear weapons and secure a set of common sense U.S. nuclear weapons policies that will make the world safer, healthier, and more just.

Nuclear weapons are a local issue. Your voice, my voice matter and together we can make a difference. Please sign onto the open letter to President Biden here: https://preventnuclearwar.org/us-officials-letter-23/.

Sincerely, [Your information here]
