Subject: Think Outside the Bomb! - Disarmament Summer - 7/30-8/9

While community movements against oil and coal are growing the Obama Administration is quietly waging a nuclear renaissance in both weapons and power! Not only are there around 20 permits for new nuclear reactors, there are dozens of new permit requests for uranium mining and the US government wants to spend $80 Billion desperately needed tax dollars to build three new nuclear bomb making plants - in Los Alamos, Kansas City, MO and Oakridge TN.

Think Outside the Bomb, the largest US youth-led network for nuclear abolition is organizing Disarmament Summer, a permaculture training and action encampment in New Mexico from July 30th through August 9th. Disarmament Summer efforts will also include creative nonviolent actions on August 6th at Los Alamos National Labs to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima and to protest the expansion of the nuclear weapons complex and it's impact on the surrounding communities.

Come join us in New Mexico to learn hands-on permaculture techniques and organizing skills, create art and street theater for the August 6th action, and much, much more! Check out our camp schedule here - www.thinkoutsidethebomb.org/encampment

New Mexico is home to the entire nuclear fuel chain, from the uranium mining to processing to waste storage. It's where the bomb was built and tested, where indigenous and Chicano communities are suffering from nuclear waste in the land, air, and water, and it's where these affected communities are organizing to stop a new era of nuclear expansion. Think Outside the Bomb is working in partnership with these community groups in New Mexico to highlight the voices and struggles of those directly affected by the nuclear chain, explore positive solutions, and build a stronger movement for nuclear abolition. In the process we will leave behind an improved encampment to support the development and healing of Native American youth.

Lots of love from the Land of Enchantment!
