Rally and March to the Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab
Sunday, August 8, 2004
1 PM RALLY at 554 Jackson Ave. in Livermore,
3 PM MARCH to the Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab

On the 59th anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombings of the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki, join us to protest US nuclear policy at Livermore Lab, one of the primary facilities for nuclear weapons development in the world.

This year, $28 million is requested to develop the Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator at Livermore and Los Alamos labs. Yet, two schools will close in Livermore in order to save $1 million. All over California teachers are laid off and educational programs are being cut while $6.6 billion is requested for nuclear weapons work - more than during the Cold War!

NONVIOLENT DIRECT ACTION: We are calling for nonviolent direct action on Monday, August 9. Meet at 7:30 AM at William Payne Park, 5800 Patterson Pass Rd. Take I-580, exit on Vasco Rd; go South 2 miles. August 9 is the anniversary of the Nagasaki bombing. We are calling for this action in honor of Father Bill O\'Donnell, who was raised in Livermore.
