This is a call to support S.1488/H.738 – A Resolve providing for an investigation and study by a special commission relative to the existential threats posed by nuclear weapons and climate change to the commonwealth of Massachusetts, filed by Senator Jo Comerford and Representative Lindsay Sabadosa.
The Resolve creates a non-partisan Citizens Commission that would explore ways to protect the residents of the Commonwealth by making recommendations to the Legislature on how to assist the transition from nuclear weapons-related jobs and activities, and towards jobs and economic opportunities that directly address the climate emergency.
Please write to your MA State Representative and Senator today, asking them to urge the chairs of the Joint Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security, Senator Timilty and Representative González, to vote S.1488 (the nuclear weapons and climate commission bill) favorably out of committee. This would allow the commission to begin its complex and much-needed work.
