In commemoration of Hiroshima & Nagasaki

Oppose Pentagon's New

Nuclear Threats

Despite worldwide horror over the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the threat of nuclear weapons, nuclear technology and nuclear waste is larger than ever.

New dangerous weapons have been unleashed by the Pentagon.

*Ban all DU weapons

A new generation of depleted uranium "conventional" weapons used extensively for the first time during the Gulf War left over 600,000 pounds of radioactive waste throughout the Gulf region.

*Stop Cassini Space Probe

The Cassini Space probe contains 72.3 pounds of plutonium. NASA plans to launch the probe to Saturn this October. An accident with plutonium could radiate vast areas of the earth.

*Stop weapons development, clean up nuclear waste

The Pentagon has deployed a new "first strike" nuclear weapon while slashing funds for radioactive waste cleanup. Half a century of nuclear arms production has left over 1.25 billion pounds of nuclear waste in the U.S. Seventy percent is on Native lands.

*We need jobs, health care and schools, not nuclear threats, racism and war

The cost of continuing weapons production and military occupation means

cutting every needed domestic program. U.S. troops are stationed in 100

countries world‑wide, while Pentagon think‑tanks plan new scenarios for

nuclear confrontations.
