a community intended to support those @gainst nuke weapons."

hunger-strike tent city outside of university of california, santa barbara's cheadle hall adminstration building

We call on the University of California Board of Regents to withdraw fully and immediately from their contracts to manage the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on the grounds that the Reliable Replacement Warhead program and LANL’s ongoing preparations to conduct plutonium pit manufacturing both clearly violate Article VI of the 1970 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

no more nukes in our name student hunger strike

day 7 of a hunger strike by more than a dozen activists at ucsb in protest of new "low-yield" nuclear weapons manufacturing by University of California laboratories in violation of the 1970 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. after today, only ONE more day of juice or even water-only fasting for most, if not all, of them: that is, until their appearance at a University of California Regents meeting up in the the san francisco bay area on Thursday.

there has been much discussion & concern in our activist community about this tactic. i share those concerns. i have also been deeply moved by the courage of some of the people i know who are participating. i've never seen such commitment up close.

I am always amazed and truly respect stances that are taken so strongly like this. More power to them and God, we need more people to have the ability and strength to do this... including myself!
