Meeting with Congress Jan 22-24th, 9am-12pm
We will be heading to Capitol Hill January 22nd through the 24th to meet with our allies in congress, as well as giving a welcome package to new members about our concerns around nuclear weapons and the climate crisis. Part of this effort is about inviting members of congress to attend the Third Meeting of States Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Last year Representative McGovern became the first US representative to observe the treaty meeting and participate in the meeting of Parliamentarians for the TPNW. This year we hope to get more.
