_NUCLEAR-FREE FUTURE MONTH: TIME TO PHASE OUT NUCLEAR POWER AND START
NEGOTIATIONS ON A TREATY TO BAN THE BOMB_
(http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=DVjaakZjdyOStz2tr3EAE6L574tOjtdc)
_ENDORSE THE CALL TO ACTION_
(http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=PtuGvur0rhzHdUQJn3+M9xkZVWbPADhk)
AND _ENROLL YOUR MAYOR IN
MAYORS FOR PEACE_
(http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=fWrwR7SxdYeTPByN7T742aL574tOjtdc)
! August 6th and 9th 2011 will mark the 66th
anniversaries of the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In the
wake of the catastrophic events in Fukishima, let us use these August days
of remembrance to continue our work in this third year of United for Peace
& Justice’s _Nuclear Free Future Month_
(http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=dGZFEcuW77xXbD1z8z1AnqL574tOjtdc)
. It’s time to end
the toxic legacy of the nuclear age and the threats posed by the existence
of nuclear weapons and their evil twins, the 442 “peaceful” nuclear
reactors desecrating our planet. Each one of these vulnerable reactors is a
potential Fukishima waiting to happen. Similarly, the estimated 23, 000
nuclear
bombs on our planet are subject to catastrophic accidental misuse,
deliberate sabotage, or intentional use by some misguided government with an
insane
death wish.
Let us use the tragic anniversaries of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the
month of August to expand our circles in order to put our planet on the path
to
sustainability, ending the nuclear scourge once and for all. Let us use
this month to reach out and dialogue with people and organizations beyond
the peace movement; to educate, to inspire courage and creativity, to
illustrate the steps we can take toward abolition, and to build a powerful
constituency for a _Nuclear Free Future_
(http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=cXDXu16+N0FDdUQIb+AD0qL574tOjtdc)

Our main vehicle for coordinating activities and disseminating information

calendar_
(http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=eOEpxt5gEArSTWw8XvbKhqL574tOjtdc)
. But please think outside the traditional bounds and
plan and share additional educational events, and actions throughout the
month of August. And please help us spread the word!
