\nThe first issue of the Nuclear Resister (NR) newsletter was published in October 1980 and coincidentally contained just one action rep ort: that of the Plowshares Eight\, the very first nuclear disarmament act ion fulfilling the words of the prophet Isaiah “to beat swords into plowsh ares\, and spears into pruning hooks.” NR coordinators Jack and Felice Coh en-Joppa have continued the work of reporting on nonviolent resistance for a nuclear-free future since then – for the past 33 years from Tucson – wi th assistance from hundreds of people.
\nThis event is a fundraiser to help with travel expenses to Georgia to attend the October 21 trial in federal court of the Kings Bay Plowshares (KBP). Jack and Felice are provi ding jail support for one of the KBP\, Fr. Steve Kelly SJ\, who has been i n a Georgia county jail since the April 2018 action.

\nThere will be a brief intro to t
he film and an opportunity for discussion afterwards.
A powerful exposé in the January 21 Rolling Stone magazine has found that wastewater from many oil and gas wells is dangerou sly radioactive. Nearby residents\, the local environment\, and especially oil and gas industry employees may be exposed to toxic levels of radiatio n—but most people are totally unaware.
\nPlease join us for a PSR we binar with Justin Nobel\, the reporter whose two-year investigation culmin ated in these explosive revelations.
\n\nMr. N obel found\, through hundreds of interviews with scientists\, environmenta lists\, regulators\, and workers\, “a sweeping arc of [radioactive] contam ination—oil-and-gas waste spilled\, spread\, and dumped across America…”\n
Radium is typically the most abundant radioactive substance in oil and gas wastewater\, and it is so dangerous that it is subject to tight re strictions even at hazardous-waste sites. Yet today\, radium-bearing waste water\, as Mr. Nobel writes\, is transported along America’s highways in u nmarked trucks\; handled by workers who are often misinformed and under pr otected\; leaked into waterways\; and stored in dumps that are not equippe d to contain the toxicity. [It] has even been used in commercial products sold at hardware stores and is spread on local roads as a de-icer.
