Nuclear Abolition
Petition to
Obama for a Nuclear Free World President Obama pledged
to demonstrate leadership for nuclear disarmament and abolition. Help us support
that pledge by adding 100,000 signatures to an international petition for abolition
to be delivered before the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference
at the United Nations in May 2010.
Taking
the Right Road on Nukes Kevin Martin,
Executive Director of Peace Action, was recently published in Foreign Policy
in Focus. His article gives us direction for the nuclear abolition movement.

The
Pacific Freeze Campaign Peace
Action is proud to endorse a new initiative to educate people about the dangerous
effects of nuclear weapons. This initiative, and also the Disarmament for Development

look at military spending on a global scale.
Promoting Diplomacy 
Prevent
Accidental War with Iran
Peace Action and our friends at the National Iran-American
Council are proud to support bipartisan legislation calling for an "Incidents
at Sea" agreement with Iran introduced by Reps. John Conyers (D-MI) and
Geoff Davis (R-KY). There is no version in the Senate; but, your leadership
could correct this issue.
You can show your support as well by sending a letter to your Representative.
