Despite worldwide horror over the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the threat 
of nuclear weapons, nuclear technology and nuclear waste is larger than ever. New dangerous 
weapons have been unleashed by the Pentagon.

• Ban all DU weapons
  A new generation of depleted uranium “conventional” weapons used 
  extensively for the first time during the Gulf War left over 600,000 pounds 
  of radioactive waste throughout the Gulf region.

• Stop Cassini Space Probe
  The Cassini Space probe contains 72.3 pounds of plutonium. NASA plans to launch 
  the probe to Saturn this October. An accident with plutonium could 
  radiate vast areas of the earth. 

• Stop weapons development, clean up nuclear waste
  Half a century of nuclear arms production has left over 1.25 billion pounds 
  of nuclear waste in the U.S. alone. Seventy percent is on Native lands. 

• We need jobs, health care and schools, not nuclear threats, racism and war
  The cost of continuing weapons production and military occupation means cutting 
  every needed domestic program.  U.S. troops are stationed in 100 countries world-wide, 
  while Pentagon think-tanks plan new scenarios for nuclear confrontations. 
  

Join with atomic bomb survivors from Japan and radiation survivors from the U.S., 
young veterans sick with Gulf War Syndrome and DU poisoning, Native people 
opposing uranium mining and dumping, and  people who have seen their health and 
social programs cut in order to feed the war machine. All will demand a ban on
 all nuclear weapons, other weapons of mass destruction and an end to all testing.
