Partners for Global Change July 11th, 2009 Call-In Number: 888-299-4099 + Download the Partner Toolkit for July/August Nukes In the News: Since the new administration has come to Washington, talk of nuclear nonproliferation has really geared up, especially since President Obama spoke in April of, "America's commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons." Since then, North Korea has illicitly tested several nuclear missiles, resulting in condemnation from the entire international community, including their allies, China and Russia. Recently, Iran has announced nuclear ambitions as well. John Isaacs, Executive Director of Council for a Livable World, will talk to us about nukes in the news and what we can expect to happen with nuclear treaties like the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, set to expire this year. Speaker:
John Isaacs, Executive Director, Council for a Livable World
Partners for Global Change Project:
July/ August 2009 Remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki with a Candlelight VigilWe will continue with the nuclear weapons theme for our July / August Partners for Global Change project, which will center around the anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing on August 6th. We will hold another "virtual vigil" this year (previous virtual vigil web page = http://www.globalsolutions.org/action/virtual_vigil) to remember those hundreds of thousands that were lost to the destructive power of nuclear weapons, but we also ask that you organize a community vigil where you live. Promote "no more nukes" and ask people to join you on August 6th to remember those who perished as a consequence of developing and deploying such devastating weapons. Download the toolkit below for full details! |
About 'Partners'The Partners for Global Change network is made up of ordinary citizens and grassroots activists (of all ages and all levels of activist experience) who are committed to affecting global change by taking action in their own communities. Six times a year, our Partners participate in a nationwide teleconference call. These calls focus on grassroots projects such as: lobbying an elected official, hosting a house party, or writing opinion pieces and getting them published in local newspapers. Projects can be as easy as making phone calls to local leaders, as involved as planning a town hall meeting, or as creative as making a short video. Whatever the issue, whatever the project, there is opportunity for everyone to be a part of real global change. Still want more answers or ready to join? Contact us: lhendrick[at]globalsolutions.org Past Projects Just because the Partners worked hard on other projects months ago doesn't mean they're out of date. Check out some of the past projects below. If any of them jump out at you, give us a shout and we'll get you started on your own project.
