Friend, 2020 brought us many victories, among them a chance for a new, principled, decent leader in the White House, and a Democratic Senate majority that will collaborate with him, rather than obstruct him. I’m grateful to each and every person and group of allies who rose up to defend our democracy and turn the page for our country.

One of the organizations whose endorsement made me proud in 2020 was the Council for a Livable World, which promotes policies to reduce nuclear threats and minimize the risk of war. Along with its sister organization, the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, Council for a Livable World has been at the forefront of U.S. arms control and national security policy for more than half a century, and has been instrumental in supporting treaties that keep us all safer from nuclear catastrophe.

I’m proud to have had the Council’s support in 2020, and if you agree with their views and goals, consider signing up for their updates on critical national security and nuclear weapons issues, as well as on their electoral efforts.

The Council works diligently to elect Congressional candidates who share their goals and to support them once in office. They endorsed and raised funds for dozens of winning candidates this cycle, including three who flipped Senate seats blue: Colorado’s John Hickenlooper, Arizona’s Mark Kelly, and Georgia’s Jon Ossoff. And in 2020, for the first time in its 58-year history, the Council endorsed a candidate for president: President-elect Joe Biden.

As a Marine who’s viewed conflict up close across the globe over the course of a two-decade military career, I salute the Council’s commitment to de-escalating conflict, preventing unending wars, and placing safeguards on the use of the deadliest weapons ever created. Partnerships with organizations like these are how we’ll create the political pressure and momentum to achieve a better world for ourselves and for future generations.

If that sounds promising to you, I encourage you to join the Council’s email list, make a contribution so they can continue their important work, and support their endorsed candidates.

Again—thank you again for your hard work to build a better nation in 2020 and for the years to come. I can’t say it enough: I’m so incredibly grateful to every single person on this team.

Thank you,
Amy
