DESCRIPTION:JOIN US at the Westgate entrance to Livermore Lab on this historic 81st 
 anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to 
 support global nuclear abolition at the location where new nuclear warheads 
 are being designed today. The rally will include amazing speakers including 
 John Burroughs ( Lawyers Committee on Nuclear Policy and Western States 
 Legal Foundation), Annoushka Raj (Tri-Valley Communities Against a 
 Radioactive Environment), Grace Morizawa (Asian Americans for Peace and 
 Justice), Fr. Thomas Bonacci (The Interfaith Peace Project),  and Patricia 
 Ellsberg (peace activist and wife of the late Daniel Ellsberg). At 10:30, 
 we will transition to a symbolic, group "die-in" in the road (which will be 
 closed), led in traditional Japanese Bon Dance (inviting our ancestors to 
 join us), and nonviolent witness and direct action those who so 
 choose.\n\nWhy at Livermore Lab? Founded in 1952 to speed the development 
 of new "generations" of nuclear weapons, the Livermore Lab is one of two 
 locations where all U.S. nuclear weapons are designed. Livermore Lab is 
 currently spending billions to develop a new warhead for U.S. 
 Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, another new warhead for a surprise 
 nuclear attack to be launched by airplanes, and a third new warhead for 
 small submarines that do not presently carry any nuclear weapons. This is 
 the place to be to stop nuclear weapons and demand their total 
 elimination!\n\nWhy now? Survivors of the bombings of Hiroshima and 
 Nagasaki are called "hibakusha." We gather to join the hibakusha's cry of 
 "Never Again!" as we celebrate Nihon Hidankyo, the association of Japanese 
 hibakusha and recipient of the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize. And, we recommit 
 ourselves to nuclear abolition on the occasion of this 81st anniversary, 
 carrying forward the work - and ensuring its visibility - as the last 
 survivors pass on.\n\nFree\n
