DESCRIPTION:Regarding nuclear weapons, there is a lot to consider lately. In February, 
 President Obama will submit his Fiscal Year 2016 budget proposal, including 
 spending for the nuclear weapons complex. This Spring will see, in New 
 York, the 5-year review of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) that 
 binds many of the world's nations in an evolving formula for humanity's 
 survival - if enough of the nuclear weapons states can take steps toward 
 disarmament. To that end, the Marshall Islands have initiated the Nuclear 
 Zero lawsuits, holding the nine nuclear-armed nations accountable for 
 failing to comply with their obligations - under the NPT and customary 
 international law - to pursue negotiations for eliminating nuclear 
 weapons.\n\nAnd to precede all of this, last December marked the third 
 Humanitarian Impact of Nuclear Weapons Conference in Vienna, Austria, in 
 which their implications for the world's population were spelled 
 out.\n\nMarylia Kelley, founder and director of the Livermore-based nuclear 
 weapons watchdog organization Tri-Valley CAREs, was in Vienna in December, 
 will be at the NPT Review Conference (including the NGO activities that 
 precede it) in April and May, will play a part in the Nuclear Zero 
 litigation, and will watch closely the 2016 nuclear weapons budget. On 
 February 22 she will share her insights into these various events in a talk 
 entitled "Two Steps Forward, One Step Back: Opportunities and Challenges 
 for Progress on Nuclear Disarmament in the Coming Year".\n\nMarylia Kelley 
 brings 32 years of research, writing and facilitating public participation 
 in decisions regarding the Livermore Lab, nuclear weapons, waste and 
 cleanup. She has served on the Lab's "Community Work Group" (since 1989) to 
 advise the government and the community on the Lab's Superfund cleanup of 
 toxic and radioactive pollution. Her determination to keep her community 
 and the world safe from nuclear weapons has shown through time and 
 again.\nThe UUSM is wheelchair accessible.\n
