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.

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.

Submit
your comments on the proposed Divine Strake weapons test at the
Nevada Test Site in 2007. Comment deadline is January 24.
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.
