Event Description:

The forth annual Nuclear Free Future Run/Walk will start from Horseshoe Mound in Portsmouth Ohio.

We will start this event in Portsmouth close to the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant, located near Portsmouth, Ohio, this plant began operations in 1954 as part of a U.S. government expansion program for the production of highly enriched uranium to fuel military reactors, nuclear weapons production and for use at the Y-12 plant in Oakridge TN.

In May 2001, USEC ceased uranium enrichment operations at Portsmouth and consolidated operations at the Paducah KY plant.

There is now a new plan to build a new enrichment plant in Piketon just north of Portsmouth OH.

We will start this event in Portsmouth Ohio and end at the Y-12 Plant in Oakridge TN. Meeting up with a walk coming from Atlanta GA organized by Nipponzan Myohoji. And in time to support the non-violent action happening the August 6th through the 9th at the Y-12 plant organized by Stop the Bombs (OREPA).

The Hiroshima-Nagasaki Day
2 Venues:
Mobilization of Communities for the Elimination of design, manufacture, use and proliferation of Weapon of Mass Destruction

On August 6, 1945 first time ever Atomic Bomb was used to kill the innocent human beings, men, women and children, residents of Hiroshima and as if it was not enough, on August 9, 1945 another Atomic Bomb was used to kill the innocent residence of Nagasaki. We should always remember these days and the horror of war especially the horror of nuclear devastation. We should mobilize our communities at home and in the world to rise up against the design, manufacture, use and proliferation of Weapon of Mass Destruction including chemical, biological, and Nuclear weapon and the use of Depleted Uranium. War is a deception! And it does not solve any problem and issue. It only kills innocent people and spread devastation across this earth.

Event Description: Time to Wake Up to Peace! Progressive Peace Day
Eighth Annual Peace Day - Santa Fe

Because Peace Day will progress to many important landmarks for peace, we are calling it Progressive Peace Day, Saturday August 5th, 2006. The commemoration will begin with a Buddhist mediation practice for peace at the Children’s Peace Statue. Santa Fe Mayor Coss will proclaim Peace Day. Children will hang peace cranes sent from around the US on the Statue and play “Cooperative Games” with peace crane folding - Tibetan Peace Tales - Prayer Flag making for a Children's Prayer Flag Procession across the Plaza to St. Francis Cathedral. An afternoon labyrinth walk at St. Francis Cathedral will flow into a procession to the Capital Rotunda for the Hiroshima Peace Bell ceremony. Churches all over town will ring their bells in response, after which we will plant the first Tree of Peace on the Capital grounds. Pax Christi will present Kathy Kelly from Voices in the Wilderness at El Museo Cultural Center in the evening.

Hotels, galleries and parks around the Plaza area will feature the local performance arts and much more. The schedule of events will be available at hotels, stores and cafes for people to find out about the many varied events. Peace Day is a call to the community to come together first to mourn the suffering caused by past and current violence all over the world, and second to celebrate our shared commitments to find solutions to so many pressing problems facing our community and planet Earth.

A "Call to Action" postcard will be passed out to the tourists and locals - put in their shopping bags - to mail to their legislators with a demand to uphold the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Event Description:

It’s as old as a John Lennon song and as new as your next thought. Imagine.
The first step toward the world we want to build for our children is creating that world in our imaginations. These days, as the Bush Administration pushes hard to lock in a nuclear future with funding for a new bomb plant in Oak Ridge, a new nuclear warhead design, and a new bomb test at the Nevada Test Site, we who believe in peace must mount our own surge toward a better world, a world where security is defined by relationships of trust rather than bombs and guns.
Imagination and creativity are the central themes of the August 5-6 peace action commemorating the bombing of Hiroshima in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where the enriched uranium for the Little Boy bomb was created. You’re invited.

Some details:

This year’s format is slightly different from years past—DOE has fenced and bulldozed the nice green fields we usually gather in. So the peace rally on August 5 will take place in Bissell Park (where we usually start the march) beginning at 10:00am. We will enjoy the fruits of creativity—music, drama, giant puppets, community—as we celebrate life and say “No!” to the promise of death by nuclear weapons.
From Bissell Park we will march to the gates of Y12. If there are a thousand of us, the grounds won’t hold us all, but we are working with Oak Ridge officials (DOE seems delighted to be uncooperative!) to create a space for a physical presence to witness to life at the gates of the bomb plant. As plans are developed, we will post updates on the OREPA web site: www.stopthebombs.org.
On Sunday, August 6, we will gather at the gates to Y12 for our annual remembrance ceremony at 6:15am—we will read names of victims of Hiroshima, along with first-hand accounts of the devastation of the bomb—everyone is welcome to join in the reading and remembrance and the tying of peace cranes on the fence. The Remembrance concludes at 8:30am, after a moment of silence at 8:16 marking the bombing of Hiroshima.

Nagasaki, too
This year, OREPA will also mark the destruction of Nagasaki with a peace lantern ceremony in Knoxville, at Sequoyah Hills Park on the west end of Cherokee Boulevard. The ceremony, which includes music and a reading, begins at 8:15 and ends with the launching of peace lanterns in the Tennessee River. You can bring a peace lantern of your own, or launch one provided—we’ll have dozens. It’s a family-friendly event, as are all OREPA events.

Calling puppetistas!
OREPA will host a weeklong puppet workshop leading up to the action in South Knoxville. Experienced puppetistas and first-timers will gather to create giant street theater puppets and to develop a skit for Saturday’s peace rally. Overnight accommodations (a few indoor beds and plenty of tent space) are available, or you can just come for a day or two. The workshop is scheduled for July 31-August 4, with a rehearsal planned for the evening of August 4 and the morning of August 5.
We’ll be looking for puppet operators, too, to help with the skit on Saturday, so even if you can’t come for the week, you can come to a rehearsal and get a part!

Nonviolent in tone and action
OREPA’s events and actions strive to be nonviolent in tone as well as action. We prohibit drugs and alcohol, and we provide trained peacekeepers who help maintain an environment where everyone can express their desire for peace. If you are interested in serving as a peacekeeper, you should contact the OREPA office (865 483 8202).
OREPA will host a nonviolence workshop and a peacekeeper training on the evening of Friday, August 4 at a location to be announced (please check the website). If you are considering an act of civil disobedience or if you are willing to serve in a support role, you should plan to come to the nonviolence workshop on Friday evening.

What to bring
August tends to be hot in Tennessee, so we advise you to bring cool clothes, water, sunscreen, maybe an umbrella for shade—or rain. There are fast food restaurants near the peace rally site, or you can bring your own food. Wear comfortable shoes.

Motivation?
This year’s theme—Imagine a world without…racism, empire, hunger, poverty, bombs…Create—will explore the interconnectedness of all the aspects of violence, from social to economic to political to spiritual, and we will not only think about these things, but we will take action.
Joining with others around the country, we will be connecting the dots between bomb production, corporate profiteering, the exploitation of indigenous peoples, and us! We will take a look at a prime dot connector, the Bechtel Corporation, with offices around the world, including Oak Ridge, TN where Bechtel helps make bombs.
Long ago Douglas MacArthur (yes, the general) said “Many will tell you with mockery and ridicule that the abolition of war can only be a dream—that it is the vague imagining of a visionary. But we must go on, or we will go under. We must have new thoughts, new ideas, new concepts. We must break out of the straitjacket of the past. We must develop sufficient imagination and courage to translate the universal with for peace into actuality.”
It’s not often we are called to arms (and voices and feet) for peace by a General, but there you go. Come and gather with us in Oak Ridge in August—to imagine and to create a new world.

Event Description:

HIROSHIMA and NAGASAKI REMEMBERED: TWO EVENTS PLANNED FOR REMEMBRANCE, GRIEVING, AND CALLS FOR LOCAL and GLOBAL ACTIONS

Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center and The Colorado Coalition for the Prevention of Nuclear War are urging participation in these events planned around the 61st anniversary of the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear weapons.

*Sunday*, August 6th. 12:00 Noon

*Where*: The "Lockheed Martin Discovery Pavilion" at the southwest end of Chatfield State Park in LITTLETON, southwest of DENVER (see map at http://www.sspf.org/projects/pavilionProject.htm

*What*: Gathering at foot of the world's largest military contractor's operation in Colorado, to grieve for the horrific loss of life in Hiroshima and Nagasaki as a result of the U.S. Government's dropping of atomic bombs in 1945. Speakers will call for the elimination of all nuclear weapons and use of peaceful means for resolving world crises. Adrienne Anderson will examine both Martin Marietta/Lockheed Martin's role at the Colorado site and nationally as well as the Denver Water Board's role in uranium mining in the vicinity. Together we will call for redress for the losses suffered in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the aftermath of global environmental damage. We’ll look at the local threat posed by unremediated radioactive waste along the South Platte River, upstream of metro Denver water supplies. Literature table, breaking bread together (bring water, sack lunches or food to share; we'll also provide beverages and light snacks).

Speakers will include Ken Seaman to talk about recent events regarding Plowshares activist Father Carl Kabat; Judith Mohling on the legacy of the bombings and the continued global threat; and Adrienne Anderson of RMPJC's new "Nuclear Nexus" project, to talk of little known local hazards at the Lockheed Martin/Denver Water Board site, and unabated threats to metro Denver's water supplies and public health, followed by calls for action for local and global health and security.

After the speakers' presentations, attendees may then join a guided "Toxic Tour" of little known chemical and radioactive threats in the immediate vicinity, undisclosed at the Lockheed Martin's "Discovery Pavilion." Revealed will be the "Nuclear Nexus" along the South Platte River and shared boundary between the world's largest military contractor's operations in Colorado - where missiles to carry nuclear warheads were produced - and the Denver Water Board's property, site of past and present water supply sources serving metro Denver area residents. The scenic tour will involve walking a mile or so up a gentle incline on a road into the Waterton Canyon (one end of the Colorado Trail). The "Toxic Tour" will end at the mouth of little-known uranium mine, where a citizens' investigation has documented ties to the Atomic Energy Commission's history of nuclear bomb production. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water, to "discover" the Hiroshima connection right here in Colorado, and be a part of calls for action.

Directions:

The Lockheed Martin Discovery Pavilion is just south of Chatfield State Park and Reservoir, along the foothills southwest of metro Denver. This is also at the site of former Denver Water Board Kassler Water Plant, which is situated along the South Platte River and at the head of the Colorado Trail into Waterton Canyon.

From the north: Take I-25 south to the Santa Fe Drive exit. Go south on Santa Fe Drive for several miles to C-470. Take C-470 west to the Wadsworth (Highway 121) exit.

Take Wadsworth south past the main Chatfield State Park entrance. Continue along this road, parallel to Chatfield Reservoir. After passing Chatfield, the road begins to curve to the right. At that point, and just before the road climbs uphill, take a left onto Waterton Canyon Road, a little road that will then jog downhill. As you’ll see, this road is just a couple of hundred feet BEFORE the main security gate at the entrance to the Lockheed Martin complex. (Note: If you get to the Lockheed Martin plant gate, you’ve gone too far; just do a u-turn and go back down the hill a few hundred feet to the Waterton Road turnoff). Once on Waterton Road, take an immediate left into the Lockheed Martin Discovery Pavilion parking lot, where the event is to be held.

From the south: Get to C-470 from either I-25 or South Santa Fe (Highway 85) and go west on C-470 to the Wadsworth exit, then follow the directions above from that point on.

From the west: Take I-70 to the C-470 intersection (near Golden). Take C-470 east to the Wadsworth exit, then follow the directions above.

From Boulder: GO south on Broadway, which curves after leaving Boulder and turns into Highway 93. Travel past Rocky Flats (roll up your windows) and continue further several miles, to Golden. Follow signs to Highway 6, and go past Golden. Take I-70 west to the C-470 interchange, head southeast on C-470 for several miles to the Wadworth exit, then follow the directions above.

(Note: Dogs are not permitted on this part of the Colorado Trail (a good thing, given chemical and radioactive contamination of creeks and other surface water in the vicinity).

Event Description:

On the 61st anniversary of the U.S. Government's bombing of the Japanese city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center and the Colorado Coalition for the Prevention of Nuclear War are sponsoring an event to begin at NOON, MST, on Sunday, August 6, 2006, convening at the Lockheed Martin Discovery Pavilion. This is at the foot of the world's largest military contractor's operations in Colorado, southwest of Denver, and also at the nexus of a 50 year, now documented history of contamination by radioactive and toxic wastes. Chronic environmental violations and public health threats from top-secret missile testing and production and uranium mining in the vicinity, just uphill and upgradient of metro Denver water supplies, now including the Chatfield Reservoir, have been documented.

At the event, speakers will include: Judith Mohling of RMPJC to invite solemn remembrance of the victims of Hiroshima and to discuss the global threat of nuclear weapons; Ken Seaman and Bill Strabala to discuss the imprisonment of Father Carl Kabat, a Catholic priest and longtime Plowshares activist, for his recent effort to "disarm" a nuclear missile; Adrienne Anderson, former University of Colorado Environmental Studies instructor and newly hired Coordinator of RMPJC's Nuclear Nexus Project, with Joan Jacobsen, a former Friendly Hills resident, who together for over 20 years have investigated ongoing pollution threats stemming from the Martin Marietta/Lockheed Martin complex and related cover-up by the Denver Water Board and other government agencies to protect the interests of the world's largest defense contractor rather than local citizens. Anderson and Jacobsen will reveal a nearby Hiroshima connection in Colorado, and continuing public health threat from a uranium mining site in the immediate vicinity, along the South Platte River and just upstream of water supplies currently being used in the Denver metro area.

Following the speakers' presentations at the Lockheed Martin Discovery Pavilion, those gathered will break bread together in remembrance of Hiroshima's victims, those who perished in the immediate nuclear devastation and also in the aftermath with the long-lived legacy of atomic weapons use by our own government. Anderson and Jacobsen - who also serves as a member of the Citizens Advisory Board* overseeing the Superfund clean-up activities at the Lockeed Martin site - will then lead a "Toxic Tour" of the radioactive and toxic contaminated area into Waterton Canyon, and further discuss actions by Martin Marietta/Lockheed Martin and the Denver Water Board to deny the toxic legacy of their illegal actions and failure over a half century to protect public health for area citizens, unwitting casualties of the nuclear weapons war machine here at home, in Colorado.

Event Description:

The Santa Cruz Weapons Inspection Team (SCWIT) invites the public to join us in participatory political theater on the Pacific Garden Mall at Cooper St. to mark the 61st anniversary of the U.S. nuclear bombing of Hiroshima.

From the first nuclear bombs that the U.S. dropped on Japan in 1945 to the deadly “depleted” uranium it deployed Lockheed Martin, that operates a 4,400 acre facility at the end of Empire Grade in Santa Cruz. Our Bonny Doon-based Lockheed Martin facility manufactures and tests Contained Detonating Fuses (CDFs) for the deadliest weapon ever made — the Trident II D5 nuclear submarine missile.

Dismantling the Bomb/Constructing Peace expresses sorrow for the full spectrum of victims of the nuclear weapons industry — workers exposed to the hazards of producing weapons, communities that suffer environmental degradation from their production, military personnel who are poisoned by their use, and, of course, the human and other living beings who are targeted by such weapons. On this day we will honor those women, men, and children in Japan whose lives and the lives of successive generations were shattered 61 years ago. This action also collectively imagines and calls for alternatives to the nuclear weapons industry, alternatives that convert the science of nuclear destruction into the science of life-sustaining industries and renewable energy.

Event Description:

Event Description: Sixty one years ago a nuclear weapon was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan--and from that day on, the world has lived under a nuclear shadow. Today the danger of another nuclear holocaust is greater than ever. More nations are pursuing nuclear weapons, and tons of nuclear bomb-making material remains unsecured and vulnerable to theft by those who would not be deterred from using a nuclear weapon. Hiroshima Day Memorial Event Sunday, August 6th, Portland, 6 p.m. Japanese American Historical Plaza, Waterfront Park, Naito Pkwy and NW Couch Hiroshima Day marks the anniversary of the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6th and 9th, 1945. Over 200,000 people were killed by those two bombs. Since then, nuclear weapons have posed the single greatest threat to the survival of our species. Each year Oregon PSR remembers those killed by the nuclear bombs and organizes citizens to make sure these events never happen again. This memorial provides an opportunity to honor those killed in the bombings and the hundreds of thousands of survivors who continue to suffer and die from radiation-induced cancers. On the anniversary of the bombings it is also important to reflect on the horrible legacies of the nuclear age, such as devastated Pacific Island ecosystems, the hundreds of thousands of U.S. government employees who received dangerous doses of radiation from weapons production and testing, and the estimated 15,000 dead Americans from radiation-induced cancers just from being downwind from testing sites. The legacy of tons of nuclear waste still stored and leaking at Hanford is left with us along with 70,000 truckloads scheduled for shipping to Hanford from other military sites starting this January. The Portland 2006 event will be Sunday, August 6th at 6pm. It will be held at the Japanese-American Historical Plaza in Waterfront Park at NW Naito Pkwy & Couch The memorial is free and open to the public. Please bring lawn chairs for seating.
