Leading up to civil resistance, PeaceWorks KC and friends held signs for employees to see as they came to work May 19 to make parts for nuclear weapons in KC MO. Our signs tell our story, “Stop escalating nuclear war.” Below are pictures from photographer Jim Hannah.
Enjoy these pictures of our action May 19 for love of the world and its children!

“The more we educate ourselves and each other, the stronger the anti-nuclear movement grows!” says Kimmy Igla, reflecting on our high-energy Memorial Day gathering.
