***AUGUST 10: HANDS AROUND LIVERMORE LAB ***

HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI NEVER AGAIN!

20 years ago, thousands of people joined hands to encircle Livermore nuclear weapons lab with peace. It is time to bring your hands for peace around the Lab. Recently, the Bush Administration officially thanked Congress for supporting the development of low-yield nuclear weapons. At the same time, the endless war on terror and the nuclear posture brings the U.S. alarmingly closer to the horrific possibility of using nuclear weapons. We must act now to stop the war makers and say NO to the testing, design, development and use of all nuclear weapons. It is time for a new vision: ABOLITION.

On August 10, people will gather at Livermore nuclear weapons lab to remember the horrific bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

The nation’s primary nuclear weapons labs: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and Los Alamos National Laboratory (located in New Mexico) are both managed by the University of California and together have designed every nuclear weapon in the U.S. arsenal.

As Congress overturns the ban on mini nuclear weapons, research on new, "more usable" nuclear weapons is already underway at Livermore lab. Congress already allocated $15 million to develop the Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator. Nationally, the nuclear weapons budget requests $6.38 billion for 2004, more than 2.2 times what was spent in 1995.

Twenty years ago, thousands of nonviolent protesters converged in Livermore Lab to demonstrate against the nuclear arms race. Now, the Bush administration’s real nuclear weapons agenda is "fewer, but newer", which could spur a new arms race. As the U.S. continues to design and develop new nuclear weapons, will it continue to flaunt its global hegemony and extensive arsenal to force other countries to disarm? It is time to start disarmament at home, before it is too late--the fate of our planet is at stake.
