Council: Front and Center August 19

NEW COUNCIL ENDORSEMENT:

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)

The Council has endorsed Senator Warren for her 2018 race! Senator Warren is a true progressive national security champion. She strongly supports the Iran nuclear agreement, reduced nuclear weapons spending, and the need for diplomacy with North Korea. Her re-election is absolutely vital for continuing to push back against hawkish attempts to hijack U.S. nuclear policy and destroy longstanding arms control agreements that make us safer. To make a contribution to Senator Warren’s re-election campaign,click here.

WHAT WE ARE READING:

Center Board Member Col. Richard Klass penned an op-ed in The Hill explaining that the lack of key personnel, a rigorous interagency review process, and a coherent strategy is proof that the Trump Administration is not equipped to address the North Korean crisis. To read his op-ed, click here.
