October 16th will mark 60 years since the start of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Right now is the closest the world has been to a nuclear war since then.

Very few members of the House and Senate have risen to the occasion by speaking out and working for measures to de-escalate tensions between nuclear powers. Nor have many of them devoted serious effort to reviving negotiations for nuclear-weapons treaties and disarmament measures.

That’s why it’s so important that people across the country use the upcoming anniversary to demand that their elected leaders take a stand and work to reduce the risk of nuclear war. Take action with us this October! Join one of the online or in-person events scheduled across the country.

Watch this video from October 2nd:

On Friday, Oct. 14, join an informational picket line at your House member’s or a senator’s local office to demand that they truly make efforts to significantly reduce the risk of nuclear war. Find a picket line near you or organize your own picket by filling out this form.

On Sunday, Oct. 16, grab a banner and some signs, available for free, and make your demands seen and heard.

Print your own signs, banners, and flyers here!

Peace!
