Actions for a Nuclear-Free Future
SACRED SITES PEACEWALK FOR A Nuclear Free World
October 22 – November 6, 2011
Diablo Canyon to Sogorea Te/Glen Cove, Vallejo, California
With Buddhist nun, Jun-san we plan a two-week interfaith peace walk from the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant near San Luis Obispo to the Bay Area. With the tragedy of Fukushima in our hearts, we will walk 15-18 miles a day looking into the safety of land and people along our route, the still-present danger of nuclear weapons, the poisonous nuclear fuel cycle and how to end the nuclear nightmare in California and worldwide. See http://canuclearwalk.wordpress.com/ for details.

-- Pacific Green Party of Oregon Endorses C.A.N.--
On August 21, 2011, The Pacific Green Party of Oregon, by unanimous vote, endorsed the Coalition Against Nukes. The PGP State Coordinating Committee meets teleconference calls every two weeks, as members of SCC live through out the state of Oregon. The next step will be making calls to form a working committee to organize and attend CAN national day of protest October 1st, 2011. The citizens of Oregon have the Hanford Nuclear facility that contains and holds enormous amounts of radioactive waste that is leaking into Columbia River and surrounding areas. Recently, the DOE has suggested shipping more national toxic waste to the site before the existing nuclear waste has been safely contained and addressed. It is a concern for all in the state and region that know the issues surrounding Hanford. T. Oliver, SCC member of the Pacific Green Party of Oregon. Email: bluezenpainter@yahoo.com
