Arms Control Center Cites Maine Activity
Dr. Daniel Oppenheim, Cushman Anthony, Roger Fenn, Sally Breen, Dr. Doug Dransfield, Rep. Diane Russell - after thanking Senators Collins and Snowe for supporting New START
We in Maine have been the focus of national attention for advocacy for the New START and CTBT. Kingston Reif, the the Director of Nuclear Nonproliferation at the Center for Arms Control and Nonproliferation said "In-state grassroots activism, encouragement, and pressure (including from religious groups) in key states such as Tennessee and Maine served as a counterweight to right-wing efforts to demonize the treaty and provided encouragement to both supportive and undecided Senators."
We aim to educate ourselves and our church community, create awareness
about the issues of war and peace, and develop a vision of a culture of
peace. Please
contact the Chair of Peace Issues for more information.
