Music, speakers, drummers, art and more, followed by
a short procession to the Livermore Lab gates where
those who choose will peacefully risk arrest
On the 71st anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we invite all who seek peace and justice to gather at the location where scientists are developing new nuclear weapons for the U.S. arsenal. Each new weapon involves “upgraded” features able to cause unimaginable devastation anywhere on Earth. Livermore Lab’s budget reveals that 86% of its funding is for nuclear weapons.
Stand with Hibakusha (A-bomb survivors), Pacific Islanders and others harmed by nuclear technology. Speakers include the Honorable Tony deBrum (Marshall Islands) and Rev. Nobuaki Hanaoka (Nagasaki atomic bomb survivor). This event is part of the global “Chain Reaction: Breaking Free from Nuclear Weapons.”
Come to the Livermore nuclear weapons laboratory’s northwest corner, at Vasco & Patterson Pass Roads, in Livermore. There will be parking set up at the rally site and vanpools from the Dublin-Pleasanton BART station (you must call 925-443-7148 in advance to reserve a seat).
