No First Use of Nuclear Weapons
With the possibility of a direct war between 2 nuclear armed states looming, it is more imperative than ever that the U.S. adpt a “no first use” policy…meanning that it will be official policy NOT to launch a nuclear strike unless attacked first.
Now more than ever, we need to change our nuclear weapons policies. Instead of fulfilling obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to move in good faith toward eliminating our nuclear arsenal, the U.S. and other nuclear nations are buliding new, enhanced weapons. Meanwhile climate chaos is heightening global tensions…
Endore Back from the Brink’s effort to insist on a change in U.S. Policy!
Pathway to Citzenship:
Immgraints need the permanency and stability of a pathway to citizenship.
The public widely supports this solution, and it’s time for Congress to follow through. There is only one path forward now and it depends of Congressional courage and the President’s leadership. Join us in calling on Congress to swiftly pass a pathway to citizenship for immigrant youth in the aftermath of the 5th Circuit’s ruling last October.
Stop Assault Weapons Sales:
2024 has again been a year of mass violence in the U.S., with more and more weapons in the hands of more and more people. These don’t make us safer–but more fearful, less secure and justifiably angry.
Weapons of war don’t belong in civilian hands. We need federal action to restrict the sale of assault weapons (like those used in Nashville, Newtown, Orlando and Pittsburg)–and to keep our communities safe. Urge Congress to act quickly to pass the Assault Weapons Ban of 2023.
UCC Justice & Peace Network:
Our United Church of Christ has a lively and engaged “Justice & Peace Network” offering a wide range of opportunities for advocacy and online action. Check out that regularly updated list of activities below–and sign up there for weekly updates from the UCC!
