BACKGROUND:

* Citizens Awareness Network has joined this nationwide initiative to link campaigns against nuclear power and nuclear weapons.

* The initiative encourages local groups to engage in education, video screenings, art exhibits, protests, vigils and more to raise public awareness, create political will and build stronger ties between the nuclear abolition, antiwar, and climate justice movements.

* Hosted by the American Friends Service Committee office in Florence, sponsors plan to put posters in shop windows, show films about nuclear weapons and/or nuclear power,ask our town officials to designate communities as Nuclear Free Future areas. We also want to extend invitations to our state and national politicians for their participation during this month long campaign.

* The Peace Pagoda will lead walk through Western Mass.

* Regionally we will collaborate on a petition directed to Governor Deval Patrick, asking him to meet with us to hear our concerns and to act to shut down the Vermont Yankee and Pilgrim nuclear power plants for the safety and well-being of the citizens of the Commonwealth.


Regional sponsors: United For Peace and Justice, American Friends Service Committee, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, Nevada Desert Experience, Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, Peace Action Education Fund, Western States Legal Foundation, Womens International League for Peace and Freedom among other groups.

VCAN will be door knocking in VT on Saturdays.

VCAN is door knocking to close Vermont Yankee. For the second summer, VCAN volunteers are finding hundreds of Vermonters who want the VT Legislature to close Vermont Yankee in 2012. Reaching out to organize the majority of citizens who want the plant replaced is an energizi...ng experience for both the knocker and the knockee!

A few hours each month, working the grassroots face to face in key legislative districts has added a community driven dimension to our fight in Montpelier. We’ve got a great crew of people who will show you the ropes. We also distribute important informational materials across the state. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll discover how easy and rewarding door to door democracy is.

Please join us, the Legislature opens in less than 200 days!

Please call Harvey if you wish to car pool.
