Disarmament Summer Encampment

This year, youth around the world are on the move organizing for a nuclear free future. This summer, Think Outside the Bomb, the largest youth-led anti-nuclear network in the US, is organizing a global convergence near Los Alamos, New Mexico where the nuclear industry began.

Disarmament Summer is a cross-cultural alliance of youth working together to re-ignite hope from below and build a grassroots consensus-based nonviolent direct action movement. In partnership with the Tribal Environmental Watch Alliance, TEWA Women United, the Multicultural Alliance for a Safe Environment, Products of Atzlan youth group, and the Southwest Indigenous Uranium Forum, we are committed to collective liberation, a sustainable future, and an end to the cycle of nuclear violence.

Start: 6:15 pm

On Saturday, July 31, the Youth Programs Committee welcomes the "Walk for Seven Generations" to the Cambridge Friends Meeting House.

All are joyfully welcome to the evening gathering and/or to join the walk for whatever time is doable for them. The walk will end on Nagasaki Day at the Leverett Peace Pagoda where there will be a remembering ceremony at 11:00 am.
