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: 7:20 pm

The film “Countdown to Zerø” opens at Kendall Square Cinema on July 30th. This controversial film begins to explore the case for a nuclear weapons free world. Variety calls Countdown to Zerø “a politically urgent picture; it will also literally scare the breath out of what will certainly be a worldwide audience.“

The film has problems -- it does not criticize dangerous US nuclear policies nor chart the path to nuclear abolition, and it accentuates fear of terrorism.    But it focuses more attention on the nuclear abolition issue.
