A Message F R O M T H E P R E S I D E N T

There are 2.19 billion children in the world today – seventy-five million in the U.S. alone. Every one of their young lives is threatened by the use of nuclear weapons, as is all they love and cherish.

Nuclear weapons are insanely powerful. They cause extreme suffering and widespread death. They cannot distinguish between combatants and civilians. They are long-distance killing devices, cowardly in conception. Nuclear weapons have zero redeeming qualities and our global goal must be zero nuclear weapons.

The nine nuclear-armed countries are all engaged in modernizing their nuclear arsenals. The United States plans to spend $1 trillion on modernizing its nuclear arsenal over the next three decades. It will upgrade its nuclear warheads and replace its land-based, sea-based and bomber-based nuclear delivery systems. It will make its nuclear weapons smaller, more accurate, and thereby more usable. It will modernize weapons whose primary purpose is to annihilate whole populations and whose effects cannot be contained in time or space.

Surely there are far better ways to spend $1 trillion than on preparing for global annihilation, including providing food for the hungry, shelter for the homeless, healthcare for those in need, and education for all children.

The United States led the way into the Nuclear Age, and we believe it should provide leadership in bringing the Nuclear Age to an end by fulfilling its legal obligations under international law to negotiate in good faith for an end to the nuclear arms race (modernization) and for total nuclear disarmament. If not the United States, who? If not now, when?

NAPF’s 75,000 worldwide members are united, working together for a world free of nuclear weapons

with THANKS


BEFORE INTERNING AT NAPF, WHAT WAS YOUR EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND? HOW FAMILIAR WERE YOU WITH ISSUES IN THE NUCLEAR AGE?

Before interning at NAPF, I was a junior at Hendrix College, a nationally acclaimed liberal arts college in Arkansas. I had just finished a semester-long study abroad program focused on comparative human rights in New York, Nepal, Jordan, and Chile. Like many of our generation, I knew little about the Nuclear Age beyond World War II, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the occasional debate about nuclear power. Nuclear weapons were barely on my radar. It wasn’t until I began to search for summer internships that I learned about NAPF's amazing work, and the modern issues related to nuclear weapons.

WHAT WAS THE MOST SURPRISING THING YOU LEARNED AT NAPF?

The most surprising thing I learned was about the nuclear testing in the Marshall Islands. I had known about nuclear testing in New Mexico when the bomb was initially invented, but I didn’t know that other tests had taken place. The fact that our government could test nuclear weapons and knowingly destroy the environment, health, and lives of the Marshall Islanders was truly shocking for me.

WHAT WAS THE MOST MEANINGFUL PROJECT YOU WORKED ON AT NAPF?

Sadako Peace Day allowed me to interact with others who believe in a nuclear free world. Just hearing the stories of survivors mixed with the poems and stories of younger generations, all who shared the same hope of a nuclear free world, was deeply moving.

HOW HAVE YOUR EXPERIENCES HERE HELP TO SHAPE YOUR FUTURE?

Now more than ever, I’m motivated to take part in local activist activities and participate in local struggles where a difference can be made. My experience with NAPF has shown me that small groups of people from around the globe have the power to affect a single cause. NAPF helped me realize that my interests lie in working with NGOs to make a difference in the world – one step at a time.

In a world searching for a moral alternative to war and violence, NAPF’s Peace Leadership Director, Paul K. Chappell, offers an enlightened path to peace, and alternatives and antidotes to violence and dehumanization.

In 2015, the Peace Leadership Program reached over 5,000 students, activists, and concerned citizens, both nationally and internationally. Many more were inspired by the program's videos and articles. Chappell's keynote speeches have included the Clifford and Virginia Durr lecture series at Auburn University in Montgomery, Alabama, the UNESCO Model UN Summer Camp in Hood, Maryland, and the CMM Institute Learning Exchange in Munich, Germany.

Paul has recently created the new NAPF Peace Literacy program, based on the seven forms of Peace Literacy. It presents a way forward to a world without war and unnecessary conflict in the same way the ability to read paved the way for achievements in science and technology.

Through the Peace Leadership and Peace Literacy programs, NAPF shines a penetrating light on the issues of war and peace in the 21st century and offers clarity of vision for a better future.

FAVORITE BOOK

How To Be Both by Ali Smith

WHO YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE DINNER WITH?

John Lennon because he was a musical genius and a symbol of peace.

WHAT DID YOU FIND MEANINGFUL ABOUT THE PEACE LEADERSHIP PROGRAM?

When I heard Paul speak, I was impressed by his down-to-earth demeanor, on and off stage. It was a fantastic experience having Paul teach a Peace Leadership workshop to my PeaceJam group. We are taking his methods of conflict resolution and plan to implement them into our ongoing Bullying Prevention program. Paul gives us all hope that peace in the world is possible.

WHAT DID YOU FIND MEANINGFUL ABOUT THE PEACE LEADERSHIP PROGRAM?

Humanize Not Modernize

with $1 TRILLION

The U.S. has more than 7,000 nuclear weapons in its arsenal. This is tremendous overkill when one considers that a regional exchange of relatively small nuclear weapons could cause a decade-long “nuclear famine” that would destroy agriculture and kill hundreds of millions. Yet, rather than eliminating its nuclear weapons, the U.S. plans to spend $4 million per hour for the next 30 years making them more lethal. That’s $1 trillion spent on killing rather than living.

with JUSTICET H E F I L I N G

On APRIL 24, 2014,The Marshall Islands (RMI) filed landmark lawsuits against the nine nuclear armed nations in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and against the United States in U.S. Federal Court to hold these nations accountable for their breaches of Article VI of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and for failing to comply with their obligations under international law to pursue negotiations for the worldwide elimination of nuclear weapons.

U . S . C A S E

On FEBRUARY 3, 2015, the U.S. case was dismissed by the U.S. District Court on the jurisdictional grounds of standing and political question doctrine. The RMI filed its Appeal Brief on July 13, 2015. We now await the response from the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

I C J C A S E S

From MARCH 7 - 16, 2016 , the International Court of Justice heard oral arguments in the preliminary phase of the nuclear disarmament cases brought by the Marshall Islands against India, Pakistan and the United Kingdom. The hearings were the first contentious cases on nuclear disarmament ever heard at the ICJ and addressed the respondent nations’ objections to the cases relating to questions of jurisdiction and admissibility. The Court’s 16 justices will decide, likely before the end of 2016, whether the cases will proceed on their merits to the next phase.

We would like to thank the RMI legal team without whom these cases would not have been heard. A complete list of the legal team, as well as the latest information on the lawsuits, can be found at nuclearzero.org.

The summit brought together 300 young people from around the world to learn about nuclear weapons issues and inspire them to strive toward Nuclear Zero. They created a pledge which can be read at internationalyouthsummit.org/pledge

2 0 1 5 N P T R E V I E W C O N F E R E N C ETeam NAPF held filled-to-capacity workshops at the 2015 Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference where diplomats discussed the critical need for legally binding action to achieve total nuclear disarmament. Tony de Brum, former Foreign Minister of the Marshall Islands, declared, “Perpetuating the status quo…is totally unacceptable to all people and all nations. Surely we can, and must do better.” His speech can be read in full at http://bit.ly/rmi-npt.

D C D A Y SNAPF’s Rick Wayman and Grant Stanton, Junior Fellow, were in DC for the 26th Annual Alliance for Nuclear Accountability’s “DC Days.” Nearly 100 meetings took place with members of Congress, their staff, and top officials in the Obama Administration. Grassroots activists spoke about the impact of nuclear weapons in their communities and the urgent need to control the huge sums of money planned for nuclear weapons modernization.

The capacity crowd left with a renewed sense of purpose to work toward creating a nuclear-free world.

S A D A K O P E A C E D A Y Our ceremony commemorated the 70th anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Held in the Sadako Peace Garden at La Casa de Maria, the evening honored the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and all innocent victims of war. Evocative poetry, soulful music and a moving keynote speech delivered by Paul K. Chappell graced the evening.

E V E N I N G F O R P E A C E The 32nd Annual Evening for Peace honored Setsuko Thurlow as our 2015 Distinguished Peace Leader. Ms. Thurlow, a hibakusha (atomic bomb survivor), spoke from the heart about her experiences as a 13 year-old girl who lived through the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Her horrifying memories moved all in attendance. Thanks to our sponsors, nearly 100 students were able to hear Ms. Thurlow speak and be inspired to work toward achieving peace and a nuclear-free world within their lifetime.

G O L D E N R U L E I N S A N TA B A R B A R A On September 3rd, the historic Golden Rule peace boat, restored by Veterans For Peace, sailed into the Santa Barbara Harbor. In 1958, the 30-foot ketch and its crew helped to ignite an international movement to stop atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons when they attempted to sail into a nuclear test zone in the Marshall Islands. The Golden Rule is now sailing again to promote peace and nuclear abolition.

N O E L “ P A U L ” S T O O K E Y H O U S E C O N C E R TNAPF held an intimate house concert with special guest, Noel “Paul” Stookey of Peter, Paul and Mary fame, at the home of Elaine and Herb Kendall. The well-known singer-songwriter, activist and NAPF advisor shared the songs that have made him one of the most beloved artists of our time. It was an evening filled with hope and energy for a more peaceful world.

THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO ASSURE YOUR LEGACY, BUT THERE IS ONE GIFT THAT GIVES BACK. A Charitable Remainder Trust will pay you either a variable or fixed dollar amount—depending on whether you choose a unitrust or annuity trust, respectively—each year for the rest of your life from assets you place in a trust. After your lifetime, the balance in the trust goes to the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation. Plus, you are eligible for an immediate partial income tax deduction. Call Elena Nicklasson at 805.965.3443 for more information.

Over the next three decades, the U.S. plans to spend $1 trillion modernizing its nuclear arsenal. Just this year alone, the government will spend over $35 billion on these weapons of mass annihilation. We can and must do better. What of our nation’s 15 million homeless families? Or the 20 million children in this country who go to bed hungry each night? What of our crumbling infrastructure? Join with us in working to halt this illegal and immoral use of funds. Help us to ensure a just and peaceful world for all of humanity, free from the all-too-real horror of nuclear annihilation.
