    Hi Everyone,

    Check out the press release below:

    http://www.trivalleycares.org/new/pr23oct08.html

    A new Department of Energy plan intends to revive and expand nuclear weapons production at the UC-managed Lawrence Livermore lab. The new plan will cost upwards of $150 billion and does not address pressing safety concerns. The plan also elevates Livermore lab’s role in the national nuclear complex.

    The University of California’s role in nuclear weapons development must be scrutinized now more than ever. If we get enough folks to sign the pledge we can help put pressure on the UC and raise public awareness about the UC’s complicity with nuclear bomb production.

    Help spread the word about the “No Nukes at the UC” campaign!
