These activities are preceded by an Ash Wednesday prayer service at the Test Site, and a Department of Energy tour of the Test Site on Friday. WHEN: February 28th (Ash Wednesday) & March 2nd to 4th, 2001 WHERE: Nevada Test Site (Mercury entrance) & Christ Church Episcopal, 2000 S. Maryland Parkway, Las Vegas, NV WHY: Peace activists began coming to the desert on an annual basis 20 years ago. Each spring they return to pray and protest the nuclear violence of the Test Site. The U.S. has even more sinister plans for the next 20 years, including the use of the Test Site. This year, Bruce Gagnon, Coordinator of the Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space, will be in Las Vegas for NDE's weekend retreat. As the keynote speaker, Bruce will explain the "Star Wars" activities of the U.S. Space Command, and how the Nevada Test Site may become part of the Space Command's scheme to ensure global dominance via a space-based system within the next 20 years. People around the world are deeply concerned about this "Vision for 2020." NDE is hoping to rally more support for nuclear abolition in the U.S., as well as continuing to offer "faith-based resistance" to the works of war, as practiced by the Department of Energy and the U.S. Space Command. Organizers with NDE see the need to continue the nonviolent witness for peace and healing, by praying in the desert and organizing opposition to the plans of war-mongers in the foreseeable future.

The article, below, describes the lauch of an international "Pledge Campaign" -- which touches the confluence where true science, disarmament and democracy meet. =46or a copy of the Scientists' and Engineers' Pledge form and other background materials discussed in the article, check out the web sites of the four sponsoring organizations -- www.igc.org/tvc for Tri-Valley CAREs (includes a downloadable pdf pledge form), www.lasg.org for the Los Alamos Study Group (includes an electronic pledge form), www.wslfweb.org for Western States Legal Foundation (pdf pledge form) and www.nrdc.org for Natural Resources Defense Council. Here is the article. Happy reading... Scientists urged to renounce arms work =46ebruary 20, 2001 By Glenn Roberts Jr. STAFF WRITER, Tri-Valley Herald/Alameda Newspapers Group Three anti-nuclear groups and a national environmental organization have begun an international campaign asking scientists and engineers to pledge not to perform work relevant to weapons of mass destruction. Launched in San Francisco during this weekend's annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the campaign asks researchers to pledge never to participate in "the design, development, testing, production, maintenance, targeting, or use" of weapons of mass destruction. Those who take the pledge are asked to renounce "research or engineering that... (will likely) be used by others" to study weapons of mass destruction. Joseph Rotblat, a physicist who shared the Nobel Prize in 1995 for his nuclear nonproliferation work, has endorsed the pledge campaign. In a written statement, Rotblat said, "At a time when science plays such a powerful role in the life of society, when the whole destiny of mankind may hinge on the results of scientific research, it is incumbent on all scientists to be fully conscious of that role and conduct themselves accordingly." Responsibility He added, "I appeal to my fellow scientists to remember their responsibility to humanity." The campaign was organized by Livermore-based Tri-Valley Communities Against a Radioactive Environment, Oakland-based Western States Legal =46oundation, New Mexico's Los Alamos Study Group, and the national Natural Resources Defense Council. Andreas Toupadakis, 46, a former Lawrence Livermore Laboratory chemist who quit his job Jan. 31, 2000, because he said he could no longer justify his weapons-related work, supports the pledge. Toupadakis, who spoke at the Saturday event launching the pledge, said he hopes that graduate students will consider committing to the pledge before they embark on their career paths. "This pledge is trying to bring awareness to graduate students, to make sure that they don't join places where they will regret it afterward," he said Monday. By studying what agencies are paying for research, scientists and engineers can try to determine whether the work will likely benefit weapons of mass destruction, Toupadakis said. Scientists must realize that there is an important link between weapons work and the foreign policy of the United States. Toupadakis said that since he left the lab, "I do what I like now -- I don't do what I don't believe in." Marylia Kelley, executive director for Tri-Valley Communities Against a Radioactive Environment said the campaign collected about 18 signatures on Saturday, and scientists attending the conference were encouraged to take time to mail in their pledges after the event. Michio Kaku, a theoretical physics professor at City University in New York; Charles Schwartz, emeritus physics professor at University of California, Berkeley; Pervez Hodbhoy, a visiting physics professor from Pakistan; and Zia Mian, a research scientist at Princeton University, are also among the pledge's supporters. "This is an international drive," Kelley said. "Our goal is an education campaign -- (to make researchers) aware of the different guises under which nuclear weapons research and development hides." She added, "If scientists and engineers refuse to do (weapons) work, then no matter how much money governments are willing to put into it, it won't happen." ------------------------ =A91999-2001 by MediaNews Group, Inc. and ANG Newspapers Marylia Kelley Tri-Valley CAREs (Communities Against a Radioactive Environment) 2582 Old First Street Livermore, CA USA 94550 - is our web site, please visit us there!

This 3-day event will cover the full spectrum of nuclear and missile defense issues. There will be individual presentations, panels, videos, discussion groups, tabling, etc. Speakers will have high expertise in their respective areas of focus, and will be drawn from a variety of groups from the Bay Area and further afield. A student group on campus is sponsoring NDE for this event, and students from other areas of California will be involved in making presentations, as well. The final program for the three days will be announced in April. Both students and the general public are invited to what promises to be an exciting event dealing with controverisal, important issues facing this country as well as the global community. We hope to see many of you there. In the meantime, please contact me for further information, or if you have any questions. In peace...
