==Activism== Druyan has for many years been a vocal advocate for nuclear disarmament. She was arrested three times at the [[Mercury, Nevada]] nuclear test site during Mikhail Gorbachev's unilateral moratorium on underground nuclear testing, with which President Ronald Reagan did not cooperate. This included an arrest in June 1986, when she crossed a white painted line indicating the test site's boundary. Sagan, who attended the same protest with Druyan, was not arrested.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/1986/06/03/Scores-arrested-at-nuclear-test-site/8569518155200/ |title=Scores arrested at nuclear test site |agency=UPI |access-date=May 6, 2019}}</ref> In the early 1990s, Druyan worked with Sagan and then-Senator Al Gore Jr. and a host of religious and scientific leaders to bring the scientific and religious worlds together in a unified effort to preserve the environment, resulting in the ''Declaration of the 'Mission to Washington{{'}}''.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.bnl.gov/envsci/schwartz/jointappeal.html |title=Declaration of the 'Mission to Washington' |website=Bnl.gov |access-date=May 6, 2019}}</ref> She was a founding director of the Children's Health Fund until the spring of 2004, a project that provides mobile pediatric care to homeless and disadvantaged children in more than half a dozen cities.
