Washington
DC
Warheads
to Windmills is putting
together DC Lobby days
to advocate for the US
to take bold
and effective
action on the climate
and nuclear weapons
crises. We will be
speaking with members of
congress about the
importance of the US
signing the Treaty on
the Prohibition of
Nuclear Weapons (TPNW)
and supporting the
creation and
negotiations for a
Fossil Fuel Treaty which
would phase out the
burning of fossil fuels.
As the country most
invested in nuclear
weapons (see
our latest blog post
on Nuclear Weapons
finances here) and
one of the top green
house gas emitters, the
United States has a
global responsibility to
take these crucial
steps. This is our
chance to make that
clear!
To
show their support, we
will be asking members
of Congress to:
- Cosponsor
the Nuclear
Weapons
Abolition and
Climate
Conversion Act,
H.R. 2775.
This is our
Warheads to
Windmills bill
which directs the
United States to
sign the TPNW and
convert nuclear
weapons industry
resources and
personnel to
purposes relating
to addressing the
climate crisis.
- Take
the ICAN pledge,
an international
pledge for
parliamentarians
promising to work
towards getting
their countries to
sign and ratify
the TPNW
- Commit
to speaking on
the floor and
into the
congressional
record
about the
importance of
getting the US to
sign the TPNW as a
sign of
leadership,
fulfilment of
existing
commitments under
the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation
Treaty, and a
first step towards
working with the
other Nuclear
Weapon States to
eliminate all
nuclear weapons.
Our
lobbying will follow the
arrival of the VFP Peace
Walk and the No to NATO
conference (July 6-7th).
If you will be in DC for
these other events,
please take some time to
join us and speak with
your members of congress
about these two
essential treaties.
Lobbying
will take place in
person in DC and
virtually via zoom. You
can sign up to join us
the whole time or for
whatever you can fit in
your schedule. To
