January 2, 2023 Meetings for potential volunteers this coming Thursday (1/5/23) in Santa Fe & Friday (1/6/23) in Albuquerque Dear friends -- Good morning! We will be having meetings for potential volunteers this week (i.e. anyone who thinks they might want to work with us, in some specific ways we will suggest at these meetings):
If you think you might be interested, why not come and learn more? Don't be shy! You can see the overall background for this call for potential volunteers in our recent bulletins and letters. We hesitate to explain too much in advance of these meetings in this short note -- except to say this: the situation in which we find ourselves in New Mexico, in the heart of the "nuclear weapons enterprise," and in the U.S. as a whole, is unprecedented in many ways. For one thing, a great deal is happening that almost nobody around here is talking about. The new and very real threat of nuclear war is a taboo topic, as is the related transformation of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) into a production plant -- with, as LANL now says it wants, its own on-site low-level nuclear waste disposal facility, among many other necessary additions. We need to foster serious discussion and opposition in our communities. We do not see much of either. A few -- even a very few -- brave people could make a huge difference. configurations which led to Meanwhile here in the office, we are gearing up for significant involvement with the new Congress (which is part of why we are looking for interns). Thank you so much for all your solidarity and your work in the communities for peace writ large and small. Looking forward to seeing some of you later this week, Greg and Trish
