Nuclear Weapons: from Opposition to Abolition
A well reasoned step by step process that would finally eliminate the threat of global nuclear destruction, that we are all living under today.

He knows exactly what he is talking about, and now shares his expertise and leadership in the nuclear disarmament community at Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action, next door to the Trident base. We are honored to welcome Tom Rogers. Q and A will follow his presentation.
Tom's excellent presentation was recorded, and will be available soon. Until then,

NUCLEAR WEAPONS
The terrible truth is: our nation built these damn things, and if we don't eliminate them now, sooner or later, many millions of innocent human beings, including our children, grandchildren, parents, friends and neighbors, could die horribly excruciating deaths.
After making substantial progress in disarmament over the last few decades, we are now rebuilding and upgrading our nuclear weapons stockpile. What went wrong?

This site contains information, technical and general, essays, and images about the current nuclear weapons situation in our world. The pages listed in the menus above are my attempts to make sense of some of the information I have been studying for many years now. There will be more, as the work continues. I don't have any answers, just a burning conviction that somebody has to do something. Maybe the issue needs more voices, maybe sharing the information with friends and family can help to grow the chorus. If you have information to share, or want to learn more, or have any suggestions about how we citizens can deal with this mess, please contact me. Tracy W Powell, 360-840-3826, tracy@nomorebombs.org

Please tell our government we want to be a nuclear weapon free nation,
and we want to start now.
Sign this petition to Congress: Require congressional approval before a president can launch a first strike of nuclear weapons.
