Tell Congress: No First Use of U.S. Nukes

Tell Congress: No First Use of U.S. Nukes

Dear Cole, American are increasingly aware—and anxious—about the risk of a conflict or misunderstanding escalating into nuclear war... and for good reason. As episodes of CBS's Madam Secretary have portrayed, U.S. “launch-under-attack” policy gives the president the sole authority to launch hundreds of nuclear weapons within minutes, making the risk of a catastrophic miscalculation all too high. Current U.S. nuclear policy also allows the president to order the first use of nuclear weapons—even against non-nuclear threats. Nuclear scientists, experts, and former U.S. defense officials agree that adopting a policy of “no first use” would reduce the risks of accidental nuclear escalation. This is a policy long-advocated by the Arms Control Association and our supporters—like you. We don't believe that the Trump administration will support changing outdated nuclear launch policies, but leaders in Congress and the next administration can and must if we are to reduce the nuclear danger. We need your help to build support for this now.  Click below to urge your Representative to co-sponsor H.R. 4415 and help us make it "the policy of the United States not to use nuclear weapons first"—before it is too late.

October 12 — Building Workplace Democracy: Chris Mackin Noon, Harvard Law School, WCC 1010, 1585 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge

October 12 — Building Workplace Democracy: Chris Mackin
Noon,
Harvard Law School, WCC 1010, 1585 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge

Chris Mackin's talk will focus around a new legislative proposal to create a new form of federal loan insurance, like Federal Home Loan Insurance, to be used by workers to buy the businesses they work in, through employee stock ownership plans or ESOPs. When done well, ESOPs can be used to create democratically governed workplaces with employees controlling the profits. This bill has potential to completely redefine American society, just as the FHA did after the Great Depression—except this redefinition would be centered around democratic worker ownership of businesses. Chris Mackin has been at the forefront of worker owned companies for around 30 years, and runs a firm focused on just that, called Ownership Associates.

Stop Trump's Plan to Crush Protests in the Nation's Capital You Must Submit Your Formal Comment in Opposition by October 15th VERY urgent! Please circulate far and wide and on social media New rules have been issued that will eliminate the right to protest as we know it in Washington, D.C. but the government is required to consider public comments before it can make the rules final. You only have until October 15th to submit your statement of opposition. If you oppose these rules take action right now - we have set up an easy-to-use comment submission system that will directly deliver your statement of opposition and make it part of the record that must be considered. Click here for more information on the new rules and to submit your statement of opposition. The new rules proposed by the Trump administration and Secretary of Interior Ryan Zinke will impose steep fees and costs on demonstrations in Washington, D.C; effectively ban protests on the White House sidewalks; force protesters to pay the costs of barricades erected at police discretion, park ranger wages and overtime, and harm to grass from standing on it; create waiting periods removing any obligation of the government to promptly process or approve permits; restrict and suppress spontaneous demonstrations that respond to breaking events; create hair-triggers allowing police to end protests for the most minor of issues; restrict sound and staging; ban long term vigils or protest presences; make protesters pay for expensive "turf covers", among many other radical restrictions of free speech rights. These changes will affect all parkland under the National Park Service (NPS) in the nation's capital including the National Mall, Lafayette Park, the White House Sidewalk, Lincoln Memorial, the Ellipse, Freedom Plaza and the sidewalks and parkland along Pennsylvania Avenue - including the sidewalk in front of the Trump Hotel. Take Action Right Now To Stop Trump's Plan to Crush Protests  This is a dangerous anti-democratic proposal. If enacted, this will mark the end of free speech as we know it and will be a dystopian model that spreads across the county. The NPS is required by law to respond to the public's comment on these new changes. Comment now and make them stop this proposed roll back of precious civil rights and democratic freedoms. Don't delay - you must submit your comment by October 15.  VERY urgent! Please circulate far and wide and on social media http://www.justiceonline.org/ You can also keep up with Partnership for Civil Justice Fund on Twitter or Facebook.
