What You Can Do
Our policy success depends a great deal on the involvement of you and thousands of other committed citizen activists. And we hope to work with you directly to engage in advocacy activities that will educate policy makers and the public and build support for sensible global security policies.

Policy makers tell us that they pay much more attention to constituents who take the time to communicate in personal ways. Moreover, we know one well-written letter to a newspaper can have a huge impact in raising an issue or voicing a particular policy recommendation. A well-timed call to a congressional staff member from a constituent has been known to convince a legislator to vote a certain way or has been very helpful in gathering critical information.
And that's where we come in. Contact Sean Meyer, National Field Organizer for the Global Security Program at 617-301-8065 or by email (smeyer[at] ucsusa.org) and discuss just how you can make a huge difference. We will talk about your interests and what kinds of lobbying activities make the most sense for you – making phone calls, writing letters, or organizing in the community.
