Description

Tri-Valley CAREs is celebrating the official “Entry Into Force” on January 22, 2021 of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, or TPNW. We invite you to celebrate this major milestone with us, either from your own home or more publicly. We will host a banner-holding event on Friday, January 22, 2021 at 8 am at the Livermore nuclear weapons Laboratory "West Gate" on Vasco Road in Livermore. We ask prospective participants to RSVP (please do not just show up) in order to have a sufficient number of signs and 6-foot “Nuclear Weapons are Illegal” banners. Additionally we ask you to RSVP so that all participants can be socially distanced, mask required. Contact Tri-Valley CAREs' Executive Director Marylia Kelley by email at [email protected] to ask questions or RSVP. Be sure to include your complete contact information. We will post photos of our TPNW action on January 22, 2021 on this website and on our social media outlets, including the Tri-Valley CAREs Facebook page, and on Instagram and Twitter.
