Footprints for Peace is calling on all Anti-Nuclear Activists and people who care about the future of Mother Earth to join us on Feb 11th, 2010 for a walk from the Y-12 nuclear weapons facility in Tennessee to the United Nations in New York for the NPT (Nuclear non Proliferation Treaty) Review Conference.
Recently the nuclear industry has embarked on a campaign of deceit and propaganda to convince the public that nuclear power is needed to end global warming. They have spent millions of dollars misleading the public and they have spent even more on buying corrupt politicians and environmentalists to back their claims.
The nuclear industry has so far created around 500 tons of plutonium, which is stored at military and civilian sites around the world. It takes as little as 4kg of this material to make a nuclear bomb capable of destroying a city.
Nuclear weapons production is undeniably linked to this whole process and the nuclear non-proliferation treaty will never work while the United Nations through the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) is actively working to promote nuclear power.
If we are to really create a world free of nuclear weapons we must stop producing the materials needed to manufacture such weapons.We can live in a peaceful world powered by renewable energy, but to achieve this we need to work together and demand that our governments listen to us instead of being bought off by the big fossil fuel industries and the military industrial complex.
We need to have a massive presence at this NPT review conference in 2010 and are inviting everyone to join us on the walk for a day, a week or the entire way.
Peace & Solidarity,
