The WAND ( Women’s Action for New Directions)  team urges its activists to join the national call-in day to reduce spending on nuclear weapons.

On February 27, companion bills were introduced in the House and Senate that would cut $100 billion in wasteful spending on nuclear weapons over 10 years.  In the Senate, Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) introduced S. 2070, the Smarter Approach to Nuclear Expenditures (SANE) Act and in the House, Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) introduced H.R. H.R.4107, the Reduce Expenditures in Nuclear Infrastructure Now (REIN-IN) Act.

On Tuesday, March 25, join activists around the country for a National Call-in Day to reduce wasteful nuclear weapons spending! Call your U.S. Senators and Representative and ask them to co-sponsor these bills!

Your Members of Congress need to know that you won’t tolerate excessive spending on 20^th century weapons when human needs continue to go unmet.
