	Think Outside the Bomb is the nation's largest grassroots network for nuclear abolition, organized collectively by volunteer youth. This tour is one element of their 2010 campaign, Disarmament Summer, which culminates in Los Alamos. Think Outside the Bomb is working "to build and sustain a network of student and youth activists and organizers," and "to build relationships with older generations of activists and organizers with whom we can share experience, knowledge, and energy." The event will feature art, music and puppets calling for social and environmental justice around nuclear issues. Please come out and join in the presentation and discussion.

	We know we're responsible for global warming but the debate over what to do about it is only just beginning. Should we require greater efforts to conserve energy? Should we increase fossil fuel taxes? Will the transition to renewable energy hurt the economy or create green jobs? One alternative being considered is to build more nuclear reactors. The nuclear industry sees climate change as an opportunity to revive itself as a "clean" and "safe" energy source. Currently a moratorium prevents the building of more nuclear reactors in Wisconsin until a safe place is found to store nuclear waste. The Governor’s Task Force on Global Warming has recommended lifting this ban and building more reactors. Is this a prudent move for Wisconsin? The Madison Area Peace Coalition is sponsoring a discussion of this topic on Tuesday, January 12th, at the Wilmar Center (rescheduled from 12/8 due to mega-blizzard). The featured speaker will be Jennifer Nordstrom of the Carbon-Free Nuclear Free campaign. She will promote the goal of a 100% renewable electricity grid by 2050. The public is welcome to join the discussion. The Wilmar Center is located at 953 Jennifer Street. The discussion begins at 7:00 pm.
