Previous letters on New Mexico's "Atomic Summer" May 24, May 29, June 11, June 25
Dear citizen activist friends on our New Mexico "short list" --
First, thanks to everybody who came to the SF City Council meeting on Wednesday. Everyone spoke eloquently, covering a number of important facets of current nuclear weapons issues as they affect Santa Fe. Ms. Yasuyo Nugent's self-presentation as Peace, Hiroshima-style, was moving and powerful (picture on Facebook). All in all it was an impressive, "just-right" presence.
This afternoon and evening, the Study Group will host an illustrated talk and discussion at St. John's United Methodist Church, 1200 Old Pecos Trail (map), on the "Status of the Trump/Obama nuclear weapons agenda -- and Santa Fe's role in it."
The evening will be divided into four short talks, each followed by discussion of equal length. These will be:
- Our Context; Intro to Nuclear Weapons and the Obama-Trump plan
- Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL): realities, prospects
- Plutonium pits: the LANL/Santa Fe role
- What you can do
We hope to see some of you there!
Look to our calendar for subsequent "Atomic Summer" events.
Best,
Greg, Trish, and gang
