Help Us Pass Local Resolutions For a Nuclear Weapons Free Future!

Mass Peace Action, in partnership with the United for Justice with Peace Coalition’s Nuclear Abolition Working Group and the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom , is working for the passage of local resolutions in support of a nuclear weapons free world. People around the country are urging city councils and boards of aldermen to pass the resolutions – and we need your help to make this happen in your community!

We have a critical window of opportunity in which to seize upon President Obama’s vision of a nuclear weapons free world and make it a reality. This will not happen without increased public awareness, pressure, and support. Embracing the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ call to abolish nuclear weapons by engaging local municipal officials in this effort is one powerful way we can add vital grassroots momentum to the global movement to get to zero nuclear weapons worldwide, especially in advance of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference at the United Nations this May.

YOU can help us by contacting local officials, such as your City Council or Boards of Selectmen/women or Aldermen/women and ask them to pass the resolution calling for a nuclear weapons free world:

Resolution for a Nuclear Weapons Free Future

“Whereas the United States Conference of Mayors in 2009 voted  unanimously to call on President Obama “to announce at the 2010 Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference the initiation of good faith multilateral negotiations on an international agreement to abolish nuclear weapons by 2020,”

Be it resolved that the City Council of…..(or Board of Aldermen of……)  adds its voice of support to this unanimous, urgent call of the United States Conference of Mayors. Be it further resolved that notification of this resolution be sent to President Obama and to our Members of Congress.
