Converge against Nuclear Weapons Testing and War, March 27 - April 1 at the Nevada Test Site!

by rtc
Nevada Desert Experience is an interfaith nonprofit that has campaigned for an end to nuclear weapons testing since 1982. Do you share our concerns about the threats of nuclear weapons-related violence looming large in 2007? From the Bush Administration's threats of war on Iran, to political fallout from the North Korean nuclear test, to the Divine Strake chemical detonation at the Nevada Test Site, to the new Complex 2030 plan to spend $150 billion on new nuclear weapons, this is a crucial time for collective action.

In response to the urgent threats of nuclear war and nuclear terrorism, we are calling members of concerned groups to gather in the desert near the Nevada Test Site. We will be speaking out against nuclear proliferation at home and abroad and building momentum for nuclear abolition, which includes transforming the Test Site into a facility that serves human and environmental needs.

Would you or your organization be willing to collaborate with us on this event? We need help ranging from partnering in the visioning and organizing work, to attending as speakers or participants, to passing on the word to your members, to endorsing the event on paper. We appreciate any help and input you are moved to give us in response to the present nuclear danger.

Our "Many Faiths, One Heart" mobilization will take place on Sunday, April 1st, 2007. This rally will be the culmination of our annual 65-mile Sacred Peace Walk from Las Vegas to the Nevada Test Site, March 27 to Apri1 1. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the rally will feature speakers and musicians from many faiths as well as our secular allies and will end with an optional, nonviolent direct action at the gates of the Test Site. The weekend will also be a chance for people to create a peace camp in the desert outside the Test Site.

Mark your calendars and consider attending this gathering on April 1st at the entrance of the Nevada Test Site. Together let us speak the truth about those forces that are harming people, land and future through their wasteful nuclear development and war-making and forge a new way.

Please let us know if you would like to be involved in this event. We would appreciate your responding by end of January 2007 so we can include you in our planning. Many thanks!

In sincere gratitude for all that you do,
