On Hiroshima and Nagasaki days, join the effort to step back from the abyss in Ukraine!
Never before have we been closer to nuclear war than right now in Ukraine. These days of commemorating the catastrophes of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, join Mass. Peace Action’s efforts to table for peace in Ukraine at some of these annual days of remembrance of those first atomic bombings. Please volunteer for a one or two hour slot to get postcards signed to our members of Congress calling on them to take leadership in advocating for a ceasefire and negotiations instead of continuing to bring us closer to nuclear war. Just give us your name, phone number, email, and the town and time you would be able to table for “postcards for peace” in Ukraine. We will contact you to make specific arrangements.
