Write a letter to your government

Three important messages:

1. Cluster munitions have caused untold harm to civilian populations over a period of 35 years, and should no longer be used in warfare. Ask your government to stop producing, using, or exporting cluster munitions.
2. Ask your government to destroy old cluster munitions that it has in stock.
3. Share your vision of peace. The issue is much larger than cluster munitions. It's about how to build a world that is secure and just, without trading in death and intimidation. Let your government know how you are trying to live out the implications of your vision.
