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.

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.
