Please join Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action as we commemorate the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and say NO to the scourge of war and nuclear weapons.

Friday night potluck August 2, 6 pm, local activists will discuss how the Trident Submarine/Nuclear Weapons Base effects us! Not only do these weapons threaten our lives, they also rob BILLIONS of dollars every year from needed projects and destroy our environment!

Saturday August 3rd we commemorate the Hiroshima/Nagasaki nuclear bombings as we welcome the participants in the Interfaith Peace Walk to Ground Zero, honor fallen heroes, and rededicate ourselves to joining the majority of the United Nations in the complete Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons! We will also enjoy the local duet of singers Hank and Claire, 7-8 pm, singing songs of affirmation and resistance; cultivating Resilience for the struggles ahead!

Sunday morning, August 4th, 10:30 am, noted author and activist, David Swanson of World Beyond War, will present the argument that war is not good for anything! His books, including enlightening/excellent, “When The World Outlawed War” will be on sale. Nonviolence training led by outstanding local leaders Julianne Gale and Zephyr Elise will occur at 3 pm with mass role playing of proposed action to follow!

Monday morning August 5th, 6 am, will be the nonviolent Happening at Bangor Trident base gate: NUKES: UHHH! WHAT ARE THEY GOOD FOR? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! This will be a multigenerational event which should be a wake up call to action!
