With grassroots support, we can show the world that the U.S. is serious about ending the existential threat of nuclear war!

If you can’t get to Salem to testify in person, you can support the memorial by submitting written testimony or by emailing your legislator to support SJM 5! This issue is local and global. The memorial details the negative impacts of investing in nuclear weapons, including the financial trade-offs of spending Oregonians’ taxes on nuclear weapons instead of local needs like education, health care, and the environment.
