Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Faithful Security.The short explanation of this alert was: As religious Americans, we stand up for peace. We also feel called to protect human life and care for creation. When we hear that the U.S. wants to get back in the nuclear weapons business, we must share the reasons why the U.S. needs to break faith with nuclear weapons—once and for all. The Department of Energy recently released a Notice of Intent for the massive renovation of the nuclear weapons complex. Under the DOE's plan, "Complex 2030," the U.S. would have the ability to produce up to 125 nuclear weapons per year – a level comparable to what we had during the Cold War. It's not every day that the U.S. government invites us to tell them exactly what we think of the nuclear weapons complex. But you have the chance to do just that. The Amarillo Globe-News Center in Amarillo, Texas will host a public comment session on the proposed nuclear weapons build-up on November 15th. Amarillo Globe-News Center, Education Room, 401 S. Buchanan, 11a.m.—3 p.m. and 6 p.m.—10 p.m. Here's your chance to tell officials from the Department of Energy that instead of building up nuclear arsenals, we need to break faith with nuclear weapons. Can't come to the meeting in person? You still have a chance to speak out. Submit a comment to the Department of Energy through our online form. You can also mail your comment to: Theodore A. Wyka, Complex 2030 SEIS Document Manager, Office of Transformation, U.S. Department of Energy, NA-10.1, 1000 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20585. Please also consider forwarding your comment to your members of Congress as well as your local newspaper. Would you like to team up with others in your area who are attending the hearing?
