We’re resisting nuclear weapons at the nuclear weapon plant in KC MO, with planning on Sunday, May 18, and action Monday, May 19. Join us! Give us your info below, and we’ll email you the details. 

The nuclear weapons plant is doubling its size to work on brand new nukes. The Kansas City projects listed in the Department of Energy’s budget laboratory tables include parts for the following: the Enterprise Pit Production-Plutonium Modernization and Plutonium Disposition program; the B61-12, a gravity bomb that the U.S. shares with five European air force bases–it has a Boeing tail kit that makes it a maneuverable “smart” bomb; the W88 ALT 370 warhead, used in the Navy’s Trident II submarine-launched ballistic missiles; the W80-4 warhead, the Air Force’s long-range standoff weapon; the W87-1 modification program that replaces the W78 warhead; and the W93/MK7 program, used in submarine-launched ballistic missiles.

Out-of-towners may stay at Jerusalem Farm, 520 Garfield Avenue, KC MO, arriving Saturday, May 17, and can go to Cherith Brook, nearby, for supper. On Sunday, May 18, we’ll go full-speed-ahead with prayer, planning, a visit to our local nuke-plant, and lunch (at nearby restaurants, paying out of pocket). In midtown, we’ll have a session “Back from the Brink” of nuclear disaster, then discussion/supper again at Cherith Brook. On Monday, May 19, we’ll meet at a park at 5:45am and shuttle to the nuke-parts plant entry. We’ll hold peace signs workers can see as they stream to work, and civil resistance will follow.

Planning continues. Sign below; we’ll keep you informed. Love & thanks! Jane Stoever
