WILPF SMART Is Growing, and Looking for You!

December 10, 2019

WILPF US’s Facebook blog WILPF SMART has grown to 60 members. Working backwards chronologically, here are some posts by members of the group about a variety of issues and events (by no means exhaustive):

• Cindy Domingo educated us about what’s happening in Bolivia, in Cuba, Venezuela, and in the Philippines, and about Medea Benjamin’s brush with the police for doing nothing wrong.
• Greta Zarro connected us to World Beyond War’s webinar on Civilian Defense.
• Linda Modica posted articles about Turkey’s desire to get out of the NPT, and naming universities that profit from nuclear weapons production.
• Deborah Livingston shared a video from the School of Americas gathering at Fort Benning, GA.
• Ellen Thomas shared information about arrests at the Kansas City nuclear weapons plant, about the Kings Bay Plowshares trial in Georgia, about the Golden Rule touring the Pacific in support of the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, about a public meeting about San Onofre’s nuclear waste, and about several important bills in Congress deserving support.
• Joan Brannigan warned us about Turkey’s possession of 50 U.S. nuclear weapons.
• Marguerite Adelman told us about Burlington, Vermont’s week of high school and public programming about Eleanor Roosevelt.
• Mali Lightfoot shared an amazing video, “What If We Nuke a City?”
