4. Create ACTION!

While online activism is an important component of what we do to make changes in this world, some of us just need MORE! If you are one of those people and want to do something in your community to educate, empower, and activate people on nuclear related issues, contact us! We have various resources we can share, as well as a pretty impressive combined history of all sorts of actions from lobbying to civil disobedience. We can also help with some good ole strategizing!
