As the second Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START II) awaits ratification in a divided Senate, the United States can take steps on its own to demonstrate its leadership and commitment to eliminating nuclear arms and stemming nuclear proliferation.

We invite you to join us for a workshop and discussion about the steps the U.S. can take on its own to demonstrate leadership and commitment to the elimination of nuclear weapons and nuclear non-proliferation. The workshop will also address what we can do to pressure the government into taking such steps.

Speakers:

• Marylia Kelley, Director Tri-Valley Communities Against a Radioactive Environment, Livermore, CA
• Jay Coghlan,Executive Director Nukewatch, New Mexico
• Robert Alvarez, IPS Senior Scholar focusing on nuclear disarmament, environmental, and energy policy.
