We shall not be moved. The international delegation took over an entrance to the Base as a police van approached.

The blockade sat down reinforcing their position.
The blockade was removed one by one, just as they had practiced in the non-violence training the day before. (Photo by Marion Küpker)

You are the last one. Are you going to leave peacefully or do we have to haul you out too? (Photo by Marion Küpker)
I will not cooperate in your defense of nuclear weapons. (Photo by Marion Küpker)
Police lined the blockade, which formed again alongside the Base entrance.

These five got farther into the supposedly high-security base than any others had managed to in two decades of “go-in” protests here. They crossed lighted fields and roads, tramped noisily through several woodlots, clipped through four chain-link fences, and climbed atop a huge weapons bunker that may have contained nuclear weapons — all without being detected. (Photo by Ralph Hutchison) Read more about their action.

News & Information on Nuclear Weapons,
Power, Waste & Nonviolent Resistance

Reporting the facts and resisting the recklessness of nuclear power and weapons is what we have done for over 40 years, and that’s what we’ll continue to do. The truth is that nukes do no good on this Earth. From the first shovelful of dirt from a uranium mine, to machining into the most dangerous weapons in the world, from the wasted trillions of dollars stolen from the homeless, hungry and unhealthy, to the deadly wastes leaving a radioactive environment for hundreds of thousands of years, nukes only hurt.
