PANYS is coordinating a state-wide lobby day on Monday, May 14 with our 15 chapters to ask our representatives to cut the bloated nuclear weapons budget and fund our communities instead. If you are interested in joining one of our chapters on a lobby visit, please contact the state office at info@panys.org or call 646-723-1749.
The president’s FY2013 budget request includes $7.6 billion for nuclear weapons, part of a ten year commitment to spend $185 billion for nuclear warhead modernization and nuclear-capable delivery systems. Meanwhile, programs such as food stamps and Pell grants are on the chopping block, and with less money available for states, public services and education budgets are being slashed at the local level. PANYS believes our state-wide lobby day effort can influence our representatives – knowing our chapters are coming to them as part of this coordinated effort on the behalf of thousands New Yorkers is a powerful statement, and we can make a difference!
