That is the weapon that thousands of Vermonters hear thundering overhead hundreds of times a month. It’s part of the Pentagon’s plan to build a whole new generation of Nuclear Weapons. 

 

The single Hiroshima bomb killed 140,000 people. The world's arsenals of over 13,000 nuclear weapons can destroy the world several times over. Now they want to build new ones that are more useable.

• We refuse to house any part of a nuclear weapons system in Vermont.

 

• We refuse to kill civilians and destroy whole cities with these weapons of mass destruction.

 

• And, we don’t want to be destroyed ourselves.

 

Vermont played a major role in the Nuclear Freeze movement in the 1980s, an international grassroots movement that prompted Russia and the U.S. to create treaties that led to the elimination of 80% of the world's nuclear weapons.

The beginning of the end of nuclear weapons starts in Vermont.
