No mother should lose her child to a cluster bomblet. Unfortunately, children are drawn to unexploded cluster submunitions thinking that they are toys. Children have accounted for almost half of the world’s cluster bomb casualties.

More than 100 governments, including all major NATO allies, will gather in Dublin, Ireland to negotiate a global treaty banning cluster bombs on May 19th.

The U.S. government won't be there, and it is actively working to undermine the treaty.

We need you to help send a message to the rest of the world that millions of Americans stand with the goal of preventing harm to children and others from cluster bombs.

To do so, all you need to do is make one or two phone calls on Monday, May 12th to help generate cosponsors for the Cluster Munitions Civilian Protection Act (S.594/H.R.1755). With your help, we hope that one-quarter of the Senate will have cosponsored the bill by the time negotiations begin. To do so, we need to generate six new cosponsors in the next two weeks—a difficult, but possible, task.

Mark it on your calendar! Be part of the national “Day after Mother’s Day Cluster Bomb Call-in” on Monday, May 12th, and ask your Senators to co-sponsor this legislation before May 19th—or as soon as possible.

Help generate more calls! Spread the word to friends, family and co-workers.

Find out more about the Cluster Munitions Civilian Protection Act.

Send a letter to your senators right now, urging them to cosponsor this common-sense legislation.
