Tri-Valley CAREs
Communities Against a Radioactive Environment
Join hundreds of peace, justice and environmental advocates to "Foreclose on the Bomb, Not the People" at a major demonstration August 5, 2012 at the Livermore nuclear weapons Lab. You are invited to commemorate the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan at the very place where the government is spending billions of dollars to develop new and modified nuclear weapons. This year's event will highlight the economic reality of ever-increasing nuclear weapons spending while people's basic needs go unmet.
The program will begin promptly at 4 PM because 4:15 PM August 5 in Livermore, California will be 8:15 AM on August 6 in Hiroshima, Japan, the exact moment the first nuclear weapon was used in war (a second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki on August 9).
This event is being held in solidarity with the Japanese Hibakusha (atomic bomb survivors), and all victims of the nuclear cycle, from Hiroshima to Fukushima to Livermore. Expect amazing singers, musicians, artists, speakers, peace booths and more.
With symbolic art, speech and nonviolent action, we will "foreclose on the bomb." Gather across the street from Livermore Lab at Wm. Payne Park, located near I-580 on Vasco Rd. and Patterson Pass Rd. The commemoration will be held in a grassy area, under shade trees, with a procession to the Lab immediately following. Carpools and a special bus pick-up from the metropolitan Bay Area are being planned.
