Twenty years ago, more than 5,000 people converged on and surrounded Livermore nuclear weapons lab in protest of the Reagan administration’s nuclear arms buildup. Today, the Bush administration is targeting nations for preemptive attack – including with nuclear weapons – while preparing to build new kinds of nuclear weapons and resume full-scale underground testing. Now, more than ever, it is vital to send a resounding message that we reject the Bush administration’s aggressive nuclear policies and call for immediate steps to negotiate the elimination of all nuclear weapons everywhere. Global disarmament starts at home; it is time to disarm America. Help us surround the Lab again. Please attend if you are able and help spread the word about the event!
