Protest organizers say that the development of nuclear weapons in the Bay Area puts communities at risk. The Bay Area's Livermore Lab acts as the "brain" of the U.S. nuclear weapons complex, as its scientists are developing new and modified nuclear weapons and spurring the U.S. to spend billions of dollars upgrading the U.S. arsenal. This year's Seeds of Change theme "reminds us that our actions now are laying the foundation for the peace of the future."
August 6th and 9th are National Days of Action to mark the 60th anniversaries of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States. List of nationwide actions. On August 9th, there were candlelight vigils at City Halls in communities across the country. Read more On August 6th at 6:30pm there was a vigil at the Aquatic Park in Berkeley.
A new Seeds of Change CD has been released - it documents some of the voices, music and poetry of six decades of resistance to nuclear weapons. Several CD release parties were held in the weeks before August 6th to boost awareness of the Livermore rally and march.
