Trump just ditched the nuclear treaty that ended the Cold War, and he’s trying to build banned nukes immediately. We need to mobilize.
Alexander: Trump just backed out of the nuclear treaty that ended the Cold War and hee’s threatening to build banned nukes immediately. [1]
There’s no other option: We need to mobilize fast to prevent Trump from dragging us headfirst iinto a new nuclear arms race.
We have a spark of hope to stop Trump’s plan. Eleven bold senators just introduced a bill S. 312, the Prevention of Arms Race Act that denies TruTrump funding to build these new nukes right away.But eleven senators isn’t enough not when most senators (and I’mm talking senators from both parties!) are used to waving through every penny in Pentagon spending that Trump asks for.
That’s where we come in. Constituent pressure is going to make or break this bill, Alexander. And we and the world cannot afford to to lose this fight.
Please, urge Sen. Cardin to cosponsor the Prevention of Arms Race Act and block Trump’s banned nukes >>Congress already failed to stop Trump’s first step toward a nuclear arms race.
The Pentagon is now manufacturing the first kind of incredibly dangerous new nukes Trump demanded a type of nuclear weapon that some war haawks think is actually “usable.” [2]And horrifyingly Congress approved those funds with barely a fight.
That’s why our grassroots advocacy for this new Senate bill is so critical.
The good news is, it already has eleven powerhouse senators behind it: Senators Jeff Merkley, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, Dianne Feinstein, Kirsten Gillibrand, Ed Markey, Ron Wyden, Chris Van Hollen, Tammy Baldwin, and Sherrod Brown. And that surge of support is a huge reason to be hopeful.But it’s not enough.
Trump has made it clear that he wants to start manufacturing the dangerous nukes banned by the treaty immediately — before he can even officially withdraw under the terms of the treaty.
That’s where we come in. We need to jump into action to push this bill through the Senate and slam the brakes on Trump’s plan before his banned nukes start rolling off the production line!
Demand your senator refuse to fund Trump’s banned nukes >>
Thank you for working for peace,
Erica, Cassandra, Stephen, and the Win Without War team
