<div> </div>
<div>When the Fukushima nuclear disaster struck Japan in March, the rest of the world had to face up once again to the consequences of using unacceptably dangerous technologies. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Are U.S. nuclear plants, which are designed the same way as Fukushima, safe? Is there any way to permanently store nuclear waste for tens of thousands of years? Do we need nuclear power to help combat global climate change, or can we power a nuclear-free future with solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources?</div>
<h1 style="font-family:Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial">Festival for a Nuclear-Free Future!<br>
Saturday, July 16, 2-5pm<br>
Copley Square, Boston</h1>
<div>How about the threat of more than 20,000 nuclear weapons that threaten all of humanity? Can the U.S. and Russia, which have enough missiles and bombs to destroy all life on earth many times over, lead the way to global abolition of nuclear weapons?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>United for Justice with Peace and a number of other local groups are sponsoring a <b>Festival for a Nuclear-Free Future on Saturday, July 16, from 2-5 pm in Copley Square. </b>We'll be addressing some extremely serious problems – for example, nuclear power plants such as Vermont Yankee and Pilgrim that could become the next Fukushima and turn Greater Boston into an evacuation zone. <br>
<br>
But we'll also be celebrating more hopeful alternatives -- growing international support for a completely nuclear-weapons-free world through negotiation of a treaty like the ones that now ban chemical and biological weapons, landmines, and cluster bombs; and the safe, clean, sustainable energy technologies that, along with conservation, will make something as costly, dangerous, and unnecessary as nuclear power a thing of the past.<br>
<br>
The festival will be free and family friendly. Come and enjoy games, puppets, skits, music, dances, a giant globe showing where nuclear warheads and power plants are -- and where they aren't -- and information about what ordinary citizens can do to promote a saner, safer world.<br>
