Rebuilding the Anti-Nuclear Weapons Movement Together – Seattle CONFERENCE

Posted on January 29, 2025

Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility (WPSR) and the Washington Against Nuclear Weapons coalition are partnering with the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship, Partnership for a World Without Nuclear Weapons, and many others to bring a 2-day grassroots action conference to Seattle this April 11-12, at the Seattle First Baptist Church.

A Second Nuclear Arms Race has begun. The United States is expected to spend nearly $2 trillion on nuclear weapons over the next few decades, and is rapidly expanding production. Our arms control treaties have been abandoned. We are growing closer to nuclear war by the day. But we have been here before.

This two-day conference, open to everyone, will feature field experts, panels, and workshops dedicated to educating the public and reviving the movement in the Pacific Northwest to abolish nuclear weapons.

The Rachel Corrie Foundation is a partner organization of Washington Against Nuclear Weapons.
