Action Against Nuclear Weapons at the Livermore Lab
Marking the anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, on August 6 a protest at the Livermore Lab called for an end to nuclear armaments. Demonstrators planted sunflowers at the gate to the Lab, the flowers being a symbol of nuclear protest.

Tara Dorabji is Outreach Director with Tri-Valley Cares in Livermore, the watchdog group for the Livermore Lab. I asked her, at the gate to the Lab, what she thought about the turnout and energy of the protest she helped organize. She responded saying it was "fabulous." She went on: "At least 800 people have showed up over the course of the day—hundreds and hundreds—it’s clearly a growing, vibrant movement: diverse, intergenerational, so many young people. That’s what’s heartening for me to see, is the next generation really carrying on this peaceful struggle, this non-violent revolution. It’s an evolution of consciousness, and we’re right here, at the gates of the Livermore Lab with this vibrant energy preparing to plant our prayers of peace."
