The Case for a New Approach to North Korea
Taking even small steps toward ending the 70-year-old Korean War would be a welcome change from the hostility and denial of past administrations. https://fpif.org/the-case-for-a-new-approach-to-north-korea/?emci=025ce8d0-b06c-eb11-9889-00155d43c992&emdi=3fe6eba2-ff6d-eb11-9889-00155d43c992&ceid=882844
URGENT (late Feb. 2021) ONLINE ACTIONS for these issues
Most of us receive many e-mails urging us to take online actions to tell a governmental or business entity what to do. These are especially urgent now in late February 2021 about several different issues. Urge Biden to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal: The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA, commonly known as the “Iran nuclear deal:) was working well until Trump pulled the U.S. out of it and escalated his bullying against Iran — including escalating threats of war against Iran. Instead of getting “leverage” to force Iran to yield to Trump’s demands, Trump’s scheme backfired. The Iranian […]

URGENT (early Feb. 2021) ONLINE ACTIONS for these issues
Most of us receive many e-mails urging us to take online actions to tell a governmental or business entity what to do. These are especially urgent now in early February 2021 about several different issues. IMMIGRANTS: Nearly two million immigrants arrived in the U.S. as children when their parents immigrated here without documentation. They grew up and became adults in the U.S., but they are still at risk of deportation. Please urge Congress to pass the DREAM Act, which has been re-introduced in the new 2021 Congress. This would protect these immigrants from deportation and allow them to work […]

The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons is a POWERFUL step toward PEACE!
The February 2021 interview on “Glen’s Parallax Perspectives” TV series provides you with a powerful, inspiring, exciting worldwide campaign that is already making powerful progress toward abolishing nuclear weapons. American politicians and American news media have grossly failed to inform the American people about the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. The United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly approved it in July 2017. Already, 51 nations have ratified the Treaty, and we expect many more during 2021 and beyond. The Treaty went into effect on January 22, 2021 for the nations that have ratified it. During this TV interview Joanne […]
Nuclear weapons: What we need to know — and what Biden should do
Many non-profit organizations are urging President Biden to take smart actions for many important issues. Here are TWO informative resources about NUCLEAR WEAPONS in the post-Trump era. Resource #1: A very few of us from the Olympia Coalition to Abolish Nuclear Weapons participated in a powerfully informative Zoom meeting that the Arms Control Association (www.armscontrol.org) conducted last week about “Nuclear Challenges for the Biden Administration in the First 100 Days” and the ACA’s related report. You may download their report from their website at this link: available for download Also, the ACA recorded their fascinating and informative Zoom meeting, […]
How to talk effectively about defunding the police
Many people recognize the long-standing problems of police using excessive violence — and treating racial and ethnic minorities unjustly. Efforts to improve training and to adopt “reforms” have not significantly solved the problems. Now many people are urging local governments to cut the budgets of police departments and use the savings to fund more effective nonviolent ways to provide public safety. These efforts make good sense, but some of the talk about “defunding” the police causes some members of the public to feel afraid for their safety and to push back against these changes. We can be more effective if […]

Biden should take these smart actions toward nuclear disarmament in his first 100 days
Trump radically escalated the dangers of nuclear war. Biden can reduce those dangers IF WE URGE BIDEN TO TAKE SMART ACTIONS. This morning I was one of more than 400 persons who participated in a worldwide Zoom meeting conducted by the Arms Control Association (www.armscontrol.org). They titled this event, “Nuclear Challenges for the Biden Administration in the First 100 Days.” They efficiently presented a lot of information from several experts. They recorded the Zoom event and will post it to their website reasonably soon. Recently the Arms Control Association presented their new report, which was titled he speakers will […]
FRI JAN 22: Street-corner vigiling supports the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons goes into effect on FRIDAY JANUARY 22. Huge international support exists — especially throughout the global South. None of the nine nations with nuclear weapons supported this treaty when the United Nations General Assembly adopted it overwhelmingly (122 nations!) in July 2017. The Trump administration vigorously and maliciously opposed it. Now that enough nations have ratified the Treaty, it will go into effect on January 22, 2021. Please see this flyer, which provides information and invites you to help publicize this historically powerful event in whatever local community you might live in: […]
