May 6: Stop the Money-Pit Missile (ICBM)

Event Date: 7th May 2021
Location: Internet 00:00 - 01:00am

PNND Co-President Senator Ed Markey, sponsor of the No-First-Use Act, and US House of Representatives member Ro Khanna have introduced the Investing in Cures Before Missiles (ICBM) Act   to stop development of new replacement Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) and use the ICBM budget instead for COVID relief and vaccination development.

The ICBMs are the sector of the US nuclear weapons arsenal that are primed, ready for use within minutes in a first-use scenario. Adoption of NFU policy would remove the main justification for the ICBMs, paving the way for further stockpile reductions and bilaterlal and multilateral arms control and disarmament agreements.

Join a webinar with Blake Narendra, foreign policy legislative assistant for Senator Markey, and Geo Saba, Chief of Staff for Representative Ro Khanna hosted by Peace Action Massachusettson the ICBM Act and how to support. Thu May 6 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm (USA Eastern Daylight Time). Click here to register.
