All Summmer
NEW MEXICO and other locations.
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOMB's DISARMAMENT SUMMER.
This year, youth around the world are on the move organizing for a nuclear free future. Think Outside the Bomb, the largest youth-led anti-nuclear network in the US, is organizing a global convergence near Los Alamos, New Mexico where the nuclear industry began. Disarmament Summer is a cross-cultural alliance of youth working together to re-ignite hope from below and build a grassroots consensus-based nonviolent direct action movement. In partnership with the Tribal Environmental Watch Alliance, TEWA Women United, the Multicultural Alliance for a Safe Environment, Products of Atzlan youth group, and the Southwest Indigenous Uranium Forum, we are committed to collective liberation, a sustainable future, and an end to the cycle of nuclear violence. After a 30 year hiatus, the uranium industry has now applied to open or re-open 22 New Mexican mines, many on sacred sites, in direct opposition to a Navajo Ban. There are 30 applications for new nuclear reactors and the Obama Administration wants to underwrite at least three of them with our tax dollars. There are no proposals to dismantle the thousands of existing US nuclear weapons, clean up their deadly legacy, or close the 250 abandoned uranium mines that continue to contaminate the air, soil, and precious water. Nor is there adequate health care or compensation for thousands of workers and their familiars who are sick or dying. For too long, the US government and corporations have sacrificed the environment, health and well-being of indigenous and poor communities to secure access to resources through the threat and use of force. To create a nuclear-free future, we must undo the legacy of racism and violence. www.thinkoutsidethebomb.org; (408) 676-TOTB (8682); Lisa Putkey, lisaputkey@gmail.com; Rebecca Riley, totbchicago@gmail.com.
