The Connecticut – Rhode Island Franciscan Justice Circle recently signed on to an open letter to the Connecticut delegation of the US House of Representatives as part of a coalition of faith leaders and faith groups in CT, asking the members to prevent nuclear war by supporting H.R 77, Embracing the goals and provisions of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. “Experts are sounding the alarm that the risk of nuclear war is greater than it has ever been since the Atomic bombings of Japan” the letter stated, noting the taxpayer dollars spent each year to maintain and upgrade the country’s nuclear weapon arsenal as well as the environmental harm from testing and maintenance of nuclear weapons.
