PeaceWorks members Kristen Scheer and Ann Suellentrop discuss upcoming events and current trends around nuclear weapons and nuclear energy reactors. Feb 2nd at 5:30pm at All Souls UU Church PeaceWorks members will report back on the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability fall meeting in Las Vegas. Midwest Catholic Workers will gather April 24-27 with PeaceWorks members to protest at Kansas City’s nuclear bomb parts plant. Plans are also underway for events around the August 6th and 9th anniversaries of the 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. PeaceWorks is a long-time Kansas City peace organization affiliated with the national group, Peace Action. Join us to hear about upcoming events and current issues pertaining to Kansas City’s nuclear bomb parts plant and other related social justice issues. The federal government will hold public hearings this spring about their plan to produce new nuclear weapons over the next 50 years. When the dates are announced, this will be a chance for humans to weigh in on 2 trillion dollars of our tax money on these catastrophic weapons or on things needed for our real security, such as education, housing, health care, and sustainable jobs.
