Hi, nuclear abolitionists.

Our friends in Kansas City who are resisting nuclear weapons and a new bomb
plant in their community are hosting a Junteenth Celebration with 4 days of
speakers, concerts, workshops, events, and a nonviolent direct action on
June 18. Please attend and support whatever actions you can.

Note that there are phone numbers, a website and a blog site where you can
get further information at the end of this email.

Also note that Kansas City straddles the state line between Missouri and
Kansas, and so the MO and KS in the event listings tell you on which side
of town a particular venue is located. Read on...

Kansas City bomb plant - opposition organizes

Date: Monday, July 5, 2010, 12:13 PM
From: source in KC, Missouri

Dear Friends,

After our highly successful, media-grabbing events June 16-19, with national/international speakers and with protests at KC Plant and Oppenheimer (next to Winstead's, east of Plaza; Oppenheimer will sell bonds to finance new KC Plant), we're now planning our Aug. 14-16 gathering. We're also designing other actions to say we want green jobs for workers, not mean jobs!

Mark your calendars now to be free Aug. 16, Monday, for 10 a.m. action and perhaps others to follow that day--we happily protested at Oppenheimer after KCP on June 18. We felt Oppenheimer was the corporate piece, the city-collusion piece. And we remain convinced that illnesses from employees throughout the Bannister Fed'l Complex began from contaminants at the KC Plant site of the complex. Keep an eye on #41 NBC Action News for updates re contaminants, and stay tuned to KKFI 90.1 FM, especially Tom Klammer's "Tell Somebody," each Tues. at 6 p.m., and Sharon Locklhart & Alexis Burdick's "Every Woman," each Sat. at 3 p.m.
