August 9, 2014 Creative Resistance, www.creativeresistance.org , , , ,
A Washington State group of anti-nuclear activists will host a weekend event commemorating the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, culminating in a direct action at the largest operational concentration of nuclear weapons in the U.S. arsenal. Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action, a grass roots organization based in Poulsbo, Washington will host its annual weekend event remembering the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 8th and 9th. Each year Ground Zero hosts this event to help people understand the threat of nuclear weapons and engage them in resistance to the Trident nuclear weapons system. This year’s theme is MUSIC NOT M.A.D.NESS. This year’s Hiroshima/Nagasaki remembrance celebrates the power of music to bring people together to work together for social change. The lineup includes Seattle band Chele’s Kitchen, Seattle musician Jim Page, and John Palmes from Juneau, Alaska. Music will feature prominently throughout the weekend, including during a vigil and nonviolent direct action at Bangor on Saturday.

Over 50 UK Parliamentarians and Amnesty International have invited Israel’s Nuclear whistleblower to join a panel of prominent speakers in London on 17 June to discuss the protection of whistleblowers around the world . This week, Vanunu’s defense team is again petitioning Israel’s Supreme Court to allow Vanunu the right to leave Israel. Upholding these undemocratic and ridiculous restrictions, for the last ten years, after Vanunu served a prison sentence of 18 years, has nothing to do with the security of the state, but are vindictive and cruel steps, which serve one purpose – to make an outcast of Vanunu and destroy him as a human being and as a true anti-nuclear activist. The longer ‘the only democracy in the Middle East’ persists to deny Vanunu his inalienable right to leave the state the greater The Legend of Vanunu will grow and everything is already on the Internet:
