ACTION ALERT

Reach out to your representative before January 13th and let them know you need their support in preventing nuclear weapons by passing the nuclear weapons joint memorials

 Make a phone call or write an email to your legislator using the following script to educate them about their opportunity to support our work against nuclear weapons. On January 13, these joint memorials will be reintroduced, and its important that your legislator has had a chance to hear that their constituents support them.

Hello, my name is [your name] and I live in [your city]. I am calling to express my support for two joint memorials that could help prevent nuclear war, SJM 8006 and HJM 4008, which will be reintroduced this legislative session. Today our treaties that prevent nuclear war are crumbling and major nuclear weapons countries like the United States and Russia are engaging in a new nuclear arms race that would bring new and dangerous weapons to WA state. This joint memorial names the many communities impacted by nuclear weapons in WA state: the Spokane Tribe, Marshall Islanders, workers at Hanford and all of us living close to the Kitsap Bangor base. This memorial would add a significant victory to a grassroots movement that is growing throughout the nation. Do you plan to support SJM 8006/HJM 4008? Thank you!
