As you know, our network has been very active lately. Here’s a brief rundown of some of the major things we’re working on, with ways that you can help support and take action. Please have a look!


Supporting the Iran Deal

As you know, we are working hard to support the Iran deal. Here are some actionable things you can do to support the cause:


August wass Nuclear Free Future Month

Last month marked the 70th anniversaries of the United States’ atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Remember that for all of August we  commemorated Nuclear Free Future Month, as we do annually.

So far, this year, activists like you have entered 200 events from around the globe into our calendar. Just because August is over does not mean that your organizing efforts should slow down. We need nuclear abolition, now! Find out about and instantly post your events at nuclearfreefuture.org.


Take Action on the Manhattan Project National Park!

Tell the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to reject efforts by pro-nuke fanatics to weaken radiation standards, here.

UFPJ is still accepting submissions for the relaunch of our newsletter, which will reach 10’s of thousands of activists, organizers, and supporters of peace and justice around the country and other parts of the world. Would your organization like to be featured?

We are excited about starting our Newsletter again to feature the hard work of UFPJ’s hundreds of member groups.

Peace groups are persevering all across the country. We want to hear from you and get the news out about your work!


Announcing Annals of Nuclear Resistance

In honor of Peace and Planet Summer and Nuclear Free Future Month, UFPJ Coordinating Committee member, Thea Paneth has launched a blog to recall and tell the storied resistance to nuclear weapons and power.

Annals of Nuclear Resistance is collecting and posting the stories, photographs, educational materials, and creative works to tell the history and to be inspired anew to take action for abolition of nuclear weapons and to shut down nuclear power plants. This project will be updated through September 26, 2015 – International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons.
