Upcoming events

Nevada Desert Experience invitation to converge on the Nevada Test Site:
Many Faiths, One Heart - Mobilization

In response to the urgent threats of nuclear war and nuclear terrorism, we are calling members of concerned groups to gather in the desert near the Nevada Test Site. We will be speaking out against nuclear proliferation at home and abroad and building momentum for nuclear abolition, which includes transforming the Test Site into a facility that serves human and environmental needs.

Threats of nuclear weapons-related violence loom large in 2007. From the Bush Administration' s threats of war on Iran, to political fallout from the North Korean nuclear test, to the Divine Strake chemical detonation at the Nevada Test Site, to the new Complex 2030 plan to spend $150 billion on new nuclear weapons, this is a crucial time for collective action.

  • Sacred Peace Walk from Las Vegas to the Nevada Test Site, March 27 to April 1, 2007
  • Rally and direct action at the Nevada Test Site, Sunday, April 1st, 2007, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The rally will feature speakers and musicians from many faiths as well as our secular allies and will end with an optional, nonviolent direct action at the gates of the Test Site. The weekend will also be a chance for people to create a peace camp in the desert outside the Test Site.

August 28, 2006 Urge Congress to "Stop the Payment" on Divine Strake

While the Divine Strake Test has been “postponed indefinitely,” it has not been canceled. The only sure way to cancel this test is to cut off its funding. These funds would be much better spent cleaning up sites contaminated by nuclear and other weapons testing.  We call upon peace and disarmament activists to pressure their congressional delegations to rescind the funding for Divine Strake, and allocate the funds for cleanup of weapons.

Print out these checks, and write your own messages to your congressional representatives and local war profiteers.  There are other ideas printed with the check.

 

• Write letters to the editor.
• Write to policy makers.
