Volunteer opportunities with the Study Group, to prevent nuclear war and halt the nuclear arms race in its tracks!

Here are some ways to join our work directly:

• You can volunteer to host house meetings and get-togethers, which can be in-person or on-line. You have friends and associates we don't. Connecting with them in the context of our work is valuable in multiple ways -- perhaps very valuable! The value and power of such meetings cannot be predicted. New things happen because of them. Every single relationship in the Study Group, including those instrumental to our successes to date, has begun in a meeting. As Hannah Arendt remarks, all political power comes from people getting together. Plus, meeting with friends is fundamentally affirmative and respectful. Call the office (505-265-1200) if you are interested in working with us in this way.
  

• You can volunteer to recruit endorsers to The Call for Sanity. Businesses, organizations, and religious communities are particularly important. We can connect you with others working on this. Again, call the office (505-265-1200) to get started.
  

• If you have particular skills or personal connections you think might be helpful for us, please call, or write Trish. If you have particular information based on your personal experience that you think might be helpful -- again, please call the office or write Trish

• Ask your friends and associates to subscribe to our main listserve (to do so, send a blank email here). They can also subscribe to our New Mexico listserve (send a blank email here), which gets a little more material and is a subset of the main listserve. 

• If open-ended volunteering is daunting, consider making a fixed-term, part-time commitment as a volunteer with us, working either in our office or from your home. That finite, well-defined commitment can help us work most effectively with you. One step at a time!

• Writing letters to editors (generally 150 words or less) remains effective -- and hones our skills. Writing guest editorials (generally 600 words or less) is even better. You may find "Thousands of Hearts and Minds", by Ed Kinane, inspiring.
  

• You can host a Study Group speaker at an event in your group, organization, or religious community. You or your group does the organizing, not us, and we get to meet your colleagues and friends!
  

• You can be on a call-up list of key volunteers to help at, or before, events and meetings. Generally this presupposes prior involvement in one or more of the ways above. For key volunteers, we have been providing daily news summaries, although this is not really systematized at this point (December 2024).

• We anticipate hosting visiting activists and interns during some periods in 2025. In the past, volunteers who live not too far from us, who had extra space in their homes, have helped us host visiting activists, interns, and research fellows.
