NDE invites people of all religious and spiritual traditions (or none) to gather near the gates of the Nevada Nuclear Test Site on August 9th. Surrounded by the beautiful desert land in the cool of the morning, we will join together on the 62nd anniversary of the nuclear bombing of Nagasaki for an end to nuclear weapons development and other war preparations. We will honor Corbin Harney, beloved Shoshone spiritual leader who passed on July 10th. We will vigil by the road to greet the test site workers and conclude with an optional nonviolent action of crossing the line onto the test site.

Corbin Harney has been a leader of the movement to close the Test Site for decades, a crucial spokesperson for the land and the Native way of life, and a beloved friend to many. We wish to honor him by continuing his work to end nuclearism, inspired by his dedication and his teachings. Please see the Shundahai website for more information about Corbin.

Fr. Vitale will talk about the United States Air Force's Reaper program which is based at Creech Air Force base, a few miles from the Nevada Test Site. From here pilots will remotely control robotic drone planes with a deadly payload 7000-miles away on the other side of the world. Fr. Vitale is currently awaiting pretrial hearing for the Fort Huachuca protest.
