DESCRIPTION:This July 4th will be the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence\, and we’re expecting an escalation in fascist rhetoric and pressure to narrowly define citizenship and patriotism. How can we find ways to push back on this culture of authoritarianism in the lead-up to July 4th? How do we honor our democratic ideals while recognizing the long history of harm in the U.S? What are alternative ways we can observe our interdependence and love of the land on July 4th? \nOne-part presentation\, one-part community brainstorming of ways to collectively observe July 4th this year.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: A House of Dynamite
DESCRIPTION:Members of the Prevent War Group at Peace House are hosting a watch party for A House of Dynamite\, the newest film from director Katherine Bigelow. The most-viewed film on Netflix when it debuted last month\, it depicts in realistic detail what would happen if our warning systems detected a single nuclear-armed missile launched by an unknown adversary heading toward Chicago. \nWith the last remaining bi-lateral treaty between the U.S. and Russia—the New START Treaty—set to expire on February 5\, 2026\, the risk of a renewed offensive nuclear arms race and thus of a nuclear holocaust will increase dramatically unless something is done. Come learn about the realities of nuclear risk and connect with others taking action to support renewal of the treaties and nuclear non-proliferation. \nSee the trailer at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wpw2QHJNco

SUMMARY:The New Nuclear Arms Race - A Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Register for this free event\nMark the date! April 25\, 2025 \nPeace House is sponsoring a Symposium on the New Nuclear Arms Race at SOU on April 25\, 2025. Speakers include Kevin Martin\, President of Peace Action\, and Eddie Laiché of Students for Nuclear Disarmament. \nWhy do we sponsor this event? \nThe world’s nuclear weapons states are busy upgrading their deadly arsenals. In the U.S. alone\, this modernization will cost over a trillion dollars. The plans include a new intercontinental missile (the Sentinel)\, new nuclear submarines and submarine-based missiles\, the manufacturing of new plutonium pits\, as well as the vast new infrastructure necessary to deploy these weapons. \nSince the end of the Cold War\, concerns of nuclear war have receded to the background. But the dangers of nuclear war are ever-present. One of the largest dangers is that of an accidental use of these weapons. The list of false alarms is long and scary. Again and again\, technical mishaps and incorrect information have led to alerts. \nOne of the most destabilizing parts of the U.S. arsenal are the intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in silos all over the upper Midwest. In the case of an alert\, the U.S. president has a mere 30 minutes to decide whether or not to launch these missiles. The logic of “use them or lose them” will put incredible pressure on whoever holds the office to initiate a launch that will mean the end of the world as we know it. \nBut there is a way forward. Eliminate the ICBMs. The U.S. has a sufficient retaliatory capacity with its submarine-based missiles and its bombers without the destabilizing ICBMs. \nSpeaker Bios \nKevin Martin\, President of Peace Action and the Peace Action Education Fund\, joined the staff on Sept 4\, 2001. Kevin previously served as Director of Project Abolition\, a national organizing effort for nuclear disarmament\, from August 1999 through August 2001. Kevin came to Project Abolition after ten years in Chicago as Executive Director of Illinois Peace Action. Prior to his decade-long stint in Chicago\, Kevin directed the community outreach canvass for Peace Action (then called Sane/Freeze) in Washington\, D.C.\, where he started as a door-to-door canvasser with the organization in 1985. Kevin’s writing has appeared in The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, The Nation\, Los Angeles Times\, Atlanta Journal-Constitution\, The Village Voice\, The Chicago Tribune\, Chicago Sun-Times\, The Progressive\, Z magazine and many other publications. He has appeared on CNN\, National Public Radio\, Fox News\, MSNBC\, BBC-TV and radio\, and many other local\, national and international radio and television outlets. Kevin has traveled abroad representing Peace Action and the U.S. peace movement on delegations and at conferences in Russia\, Japan\, China\, Mexico and Britain. He is married\, with two children\, and lives in Silver Springs\, Maryland. \nEddie Laiché is a civil engineering student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. When he was in high school\, he learned about the devastating health impacts of a hypothetical modern-day nuclear weapon attack. Since then\, he has been advocating extensively with the Back from the Brink Coalition and Students for Nuclear Disarmament (SND) to raise awareness of the inhumanity of nuclear weapons and the urgency to abolish them. In high school\, they got a proclamation to be passed by the mayor of our city\, calling for the abolition of nuclear weapons. After becoming a steering committee member of SND\, he has spoken/attended a variety of conferences and panelist discussions.\n \nRegister for this free event
