DESCRIPTION:No Nukes! No Wars! No Profiteers! -- 'In the Shadow of the Bomb', a 
 memorial ceremony and nonviolent direct action at the Livermore Nuclear 
 Weapons Lab will mark the 62nd anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing of 
 Hiroshima. \nMonday, August 6, 2007 beginning promptly at 7:30 AM. The 
 commemoration will culminate with an air raid siren and a moment of silence 
 and reflection at 8:15 AM, the exact time of day the first atomic bomb was 
 dropped on Hiroshima. An “open mike” rally and nonviolent direct action 
 at the Livermore Lab West Gate entrance will follow. \n\nThrough poetry, 
 music and spoken word, we will recall the history of that terrible day and 
 the ongoing effects of nuclear weapons use, production and testing. We will 
 commemorate the victims of nuclear weapons and war at the gate of the 
 government laboratory that is designing the next U.S. nuclear weapon, the 
 so-called “Reliable Replacement Warhead”. \n\nLivermore Lab, managed by 
 the University of California and a consortium of corporations, including 
 Bechtel, is one of two labs that have designed every nuclear weapon in the 
 U.S. stockpile. At present, Livermore Lab is developing a new 
 “replacement” warhead, designed to be launched from submarines, 
 designated as the “Reliable Replacement Warhead-1.” The RRW-1 is first 
 new H-bomb in the Bush Administration “Complex 2030” plan, to re-design 
 and rebuild every nuclear weapon in the U.S. arsenal. \n\nThe Livermore Lab 
 action is among dozens of Hiroshima-Nagasaki commemorations, rallies, film 
 screenings, and vigils being held around the country at nuclear facilities 
 and corporate war profiteers under the umbrella, “No Nukes! No Wars! No 
 Profiteers!” and coordinated by United for Peace and Justice, the largest 
 anti-war coalition in the country. \n\nKeynote speaker, Chizu Iiyama, a 
 former chair of the department of early childhood education at Contra Costa 
 College, co-authored Teacher's Guide: Making Peace: The Legacy of Hiroshima 
 and Nagasaki. She currently serves as a Board member and writer for Nikkei 
 Heritage, a publication of the National Japanese American Historical 
 Society, and is active with the Asian Pacific Islander Resist! Watada 
 Support Committee. Musicians robert temple and soul singer-songwriter 
 Kaylah Marin will perform. Community leaders and activists are invited to 
 speak at the “open mike” rally. \n\nFor more Information please call:
