Tri-Valley Communities Against A Radioactive Environment

Programs: To clean up the Labs and reduce environmental and health hazards. Monitor the cleanup of contamination resulting from the activities of the weapons laboratories in Livermore. Advocate for increases in cleanup efforts when needed. Challenge the programs that continue to threaten our health and safety. Inform people of the risks to their community from nuclear weapons programs. To convert the Labs to socially beneficial, environmentally sound research. Facilitate conversion of the weapons laboratories in Livermore from nuclear weapons design to missions in environmental restoration technologies, renewable non-polluting energy sources, alternative vehicles and transportation and the design of green manufacturing processes. Such constructive work can secure the quality of life for communities across the nation, including our own. To end nuclear weapons research, design and testing in the United States. Confront and expose the nuclear programs which endanger the peace and security of people around the world. Work to change national security policy, which is still based upon the maintenance of a cred- ible nuclear threat, including the possibility of a first strike. To abolish nuclear weapons worldwide. Work for acceptance of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, in the U.S. and internationally. Work to reduce stockpiles to an absolute minimum, and ultimately zero. Promote policies to achieve an equitable, successful non-proliferation regime. To promote forthright communication and democratic decision-making in public policy on nuclear weapons issues, locally, nationally and globally. Inform, empower and encourage citizen participation in U.S. nuclear policy issues. Continue partnerships with Russian activists and other allied citizens' groups on issues of conversion, environmental cleanup and disarmament.
