PREVENTING WHAT WE CANNOT CURE: Physicians for Social Responsibility is the medical and public health voice working to prevent the use or spread of nuclear weapons and to slow, stop and reverse global warming and the toxic degradation of the environment.

Speaking Truth to Power Y-12 July 5, 2010

The awareness and courage of nonviolent protesters is again manifest at the Oak Ridge Nuclear Bomb Plant. Thirteen were arrested on the federal charge of trespassing (crawling through a barbwire fence). The penalty can be as much as $100,000 and a year in prison. Twenty-three others were arrested on state charges of obstructing a roadway (standing at the gate across the entry road to the plant). This protest was organized to stop the planned construction of a new bomb plant at Y-12 for upgrading current nuclear weapons into the "future." It is the commitment and sacrifice of these people over the last sixty years that till now has prevented the use of nuclear weapons. As they 'speak truth to power' directly, let us add our voices until there is de-alerting and finally the abolishing of all nuclear weapons.
