Let Your Voice Be Heard!
Final Push Towards Victory! Your Voice Needed Now! Take action!
Make a difference in the challenge to confront global warming and prevent nuclear war and the development and use of nuclear weapons.
The future of the disarmament agenda is on the line now as New START ratification moves forward in the US Senate.
Global warming poses grave consequences for human health. To protect against severe hurricanes, storms and flooding, intense heat waves, worsening air quality, and the spread of insect-borne and water-borne diseases, we must act quickly and decisively.
Your U.S. senators are now back on Capitol Hill and wll be drafting climate legislation soon. Please urge them to take the following actions:
1. Make strong, early cuts in carbon dioxide emissions.
2. Preserve the EPA's authority to regulate carbon dioxide under the Clean Air Act.
3. End dependence on coal for electrical generation.
4. Prevent unlimited loan guarantees or additional subsidies for new nuclear reactors.
Tell your Senators that to protect public health and the planet, we as a nation must move away from dangerous energy.
Take Action »Coal ash is toxic, widespread, and leaking. Tell the EPA today that this problem requires effective, mandatory federal regulation.
We can lower carbon pollution by fully implementing the Clean Air Act. Don't let dirty fossil fuel industries pressure members of Congress to tie the EPA's hands and place profits before health.
