3/28/2022 Media Advisory: Organizations to gather tomorrow in support of bills by Morales, Mack to promote peace
STATE HOUSE – Rep. David Morales and Sen. Tiara Mack will be joined tomorrow by a host of organizations that advocate for peace and nonviolence at a State House event in support of their legislation to promote international peace.

The event is scheduled tomorrow, Tuesday, March 29, at 3 p.m. in the State Library on the second floor of the State House. The media is invited.

The bills, which seek to determine how much of the state pension fund is invested in military weapons manufacturing and to ask the federal government to pursue nuclear disarmament for the United States and the world, take on greater importance as world leaders pursue efforts to stop nuclear-armed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine without provoking escalation.

 In addition to Representative Morales (D-Dist. 7, Providence) and Sen. Tiara Mack (D-Dist. 6, Providence), representatives of many organizations are expected to participate. The legislation is backed by Just Peace RI, Pax Christi Rhode Island, Rhode Island Poor People’s Campaign, East Bay Citizens for Peace, Sister of Mercy of the Americas Justice Team, Black Lives Matter Rhode Island PAC, No Endless War or Excessive Militarism RI, Action Corps RI, Rhode Island Anti-War Committee, Friends Committee on National Legislation Providence RI Advocacy Team, and Direct Action for Rights and Equality (DARE).
