Forum to Build a Just, Sustainable, Nuclear-Free World

Nuclear power is being promoted as a “clean, green” solution to climate change. The number of nuclear power plants is expected to double globally over the next 20 years. And Obama has announced that the U.S. will spend $1 trillion to “upgrade” the U.S. nuclear arsenal of 7,500 weapons.

When we should be focusing on climate change, building a sustainable world, and ending racial and economic injustice, we appear to be preparing for war instead.

Brooklyn For Peace and the Brooklyn Friends Peace and Social Action Committee invite you to a panel discussion of these disturbing trends and the Peace and Planet grassroots mobilization to build a safer, more just, nuclear-free world.

Speakers:
Marilyn Elie: Founding member, Indian Point Safe Energy Coalition

Joseph Gerson: AFSC; author of Empire and the Bomb: How the U.S. Uses Nuclear Weapons to Dominate the World

WHEN: Monday, April 13 at 7 pm

WHERE: Brooklyn Friends Meeting House, 110 Schermerhorn St. at Boerum

All are welcome!
