\nThe first iss ue of the Nuclear Resister (NR) newsletter was published in October 1980 a nd coincidentally contained just one action report: that of the Plowshares Eight\, the very first nuclear disarmament action fulfilling the words of the prophet Isaiah “to beat swords into plowshares\, and spears into prun ing hooks.” NR coordinators Jack and Felice Cohen-Joppa have continued the work of reporting on nonviolent resistance for a nuclear-free future sinc e then – for the past 33 years from Tucson – with assistance from hundreds of people.
\nThis event is a fundraiser to help with travel expense s to Georgia to attend the October 21 trial in federal court of the Kings Bay Plowshares (KBP). Jack and Felice are providing jail support for one o f the KBP\, Fr. Steve Kelly SJ\, who has been in a Georgia county jail sin ce the April 2018 action.

\nFirst film [short] Justin Clifton’s “Unnecessary Evil”
\nFeatured fil m: Circle of Poison
\nShort Q & A Afterwards
\nPSR-Arizona [Physicians for Social Responsibility] is sponsoring two films: a short [9.5 min] “Unnecessary Evil” by Justin Clifton\, about uranium min es tailings pollution in the Colorado River affecting the Havasupai First Nations peoples in Arizona. Followed by “Circle of Poison”\, a 71 minute documentary about agro-pesticide pollution in internationa l lands in India\, Argentina and Mexico. Film is narrated by David Weir\, RPCV [Returned Peace Corps Volunteer] from Afghanistan. This also effects US food consumption and First Nation lands.
\nPSR-AZ and IIT C [International Indian Treaty Council] co-sponsor these films fo r a free screening\, Sunday\, January 5th\, at 4p m at The LOFT in Tucson. The proximity of pesticide use in Yaqui communities in Sonora Mexico near to Tucson\, as well as other internation al locales make this a poignant film for Tucson audiences.
\nThe fil ms illustrate corporate malfeasance\, circular lobbying rotations in DC\, and health effects of unjust environmental practices. PSR-AZ links the env ironmental and nuclear industries as significant polluters.

A powerful exposé in the January 21 Rolling Stone magazine has found that was tewater from many oil and gas wells is dangerously radioactive. Nearby res idents\, the local environment\, and especially oil and gas industry emplo yees may be exposed to toxic levels of radiation—but most people are total ly unaware.
\nPlease join us for a PSR webinar with Justin Nobel\, t he reporter whose two-year investigation culminated in these explosive rev elations.
\n\nMr. Nobel found\, through hundre ds of interviews with scientists\, environmentalists\, regulators\, and wo rkers\, “a sweeping arc of [radioactive] contamination—oil-and-gas waste s pilled\, spread\, and dumped across America…”
\nRadium is typically the most abundant radioactive substance in oil and gas wastewater\, and it is so dangerous that it is subject to tight restrictions even at hazardou s-waste sites. Yet today\, radium-bearing wastewater\, as Mr. Nobel writes \, is transported along America’s highways in unmarked trucks\; handled by workers who are often misinformed and under protected\; leaked into water ways\; and stored in dumps that are not equipped 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.
