American Values Network: Difference between revisions

In 2010, AVN worked diligently to support the [[New START]] treaty, a bilateral treaty which reduced the number of strategic nuclear missile launchers in the United States and Russia by half. AVN's "Daisy Ad" <ref>{{cite web |title=Daisy Ad|last=Youtube|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=as1cTOx8Hrk|accessdate=23 January 2014}}</ref> highlights the risk of nuclear weapons. It was quite successful and accumulated tens of thousands of views on youtube and garnered press coverage in [[NPR]], [[POLITICO]], [[Huffington Post]], and the [[The New York Times]].

In the last several years AVN has led a sustained effort to advocate for and support climate legislation and other environmental protection measures. Most recently, AVN began an initiative called the Good Steward Campaign <ref>{{cite web|title=Good Stewrad Campaign|url=www.http://goodstewardcampaign.org|accessdate=23 January 2014}}</ref>, which is a faith-based environmental organization focused primarily on college campus outreach. In the fall of 2013, The Good Steward Campaign organized on 30 college campuses in an attempt to get Christian students to think about and address climate change from a faith perspective. They also support fossil fuel divestment campaigns.
