On August 9th in New York City, local anti-nuclear and peace & justice groups will be participating in a day of coordinated national actions targeting nuclear and war profiteer the Bechtel Group.

Bechtel is the world’s #1 nuclear profiteer and a leading beneficiary of the Iraq war and corporate globalization policies in general.

Bechtel "connects the dots" for the anti-war, anti-nuke and global justice movements. Through its sordid corporate history and 100 years of revolving-door relationships with government, Bechtel illustrates the connections between profiteering and war, between nuclear power and nuclear weapons proliferation, between “free trade” and the exploitation of indigenous peoples, and between corporate power-brokers and decision-makers at the highest levels of government.
