Each year\, we join the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability to meet with members of Congress and high-level administration officials. Our mission? To fight for policies that protect people and the planet—and stop those that don’t. \nHere’s what DC Days looks like: \n**Day 1:** Intensive training on nuclear issues and lobbying skills alongside activists nationwide. \n**Days 2–4:** Meeting with decision-makers to advocate for: \n\nProtecting our communities and environment from nuclear waste and pollution.\nEnding efforts to prop up the declining nuclear power industry.\nHalting the expansion of dangerous and costly nuclear weapons programs.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n If you care about clean water\, responsible nuclear waste management\, and a future free from the threat of nuclear weapons\, we’d love for you to join us. \nTo get involved\, email Leigh at **lford@snakeriveralliance.org** with the subject line **DC Days**. \nTogether\, we can make sure our voices are heard where it matters most.

There will be time for questions and discussion afterward. \nRegistration is required. \nAlfred is a social activist who currently serves on the boards of two Physicians for Social Responsibility chapters – New York State and Wisconsin. He formerly served on the national board of Physicians for Social Responsibility\, and as Program Director for the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability in Washington DC. \nBased in Washington\, D.C.\, Physicians for Social Responsibility is a U.S. non-profit organization that advocates for the public health by addressing policies regarding nuclear weapons\, nuclear power\, nuclear waste\, climate change and toxic chemicals. \n \n REGISTER HERE URL:https://snakeriveralliance.org/event/nuclear-fuel-chain-part-5-its-all-about-the-bomb/ CATEGORIES:Virtual Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://snakeriveralliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/1.Alfred-Meyer.png ORGANIZER;CN="Snake River Alliance":MAILTO:lford@snakeriveralliance.org LOCATION: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Boise:20250122T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Boise:20250122T200000 DTSTAMP:20250108T232305Z CREATED:20250105T003418Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250108T232305Z UID:10000075-1737570600-1737576000@snakeriveralliance.org SUMMARY:Half-Life of Memory DESCRIPTION:Join us!\nCelebrate the Anniversary of the Treaty for the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons with us this year at the Idaho Film Society in Boise. \nWednesday\, January 22nd 6:30 pm \nThe Snake River Alliance hosts a screening of Half-Life of Memory followed by a panel discussion with director Jeff Gipe\, FBI raid leader Jon Lipsky\, and lead activist organizer in the Rocky Flats campaign Chet Tchozewski. \nTickets available at idahofilm.org. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n America’s Forgotten Atomic Bomb Factory\nIn the suburbs of Denver\, the U.S. secretly manufactured thousands of atomic weapons\, leaving behind a toxic legacy that will persist for generations.  \nThe Rocky Flats plant manufactured a staggering 70\,000 atomic bombs\, each serving as a “trigger” for thermonuclear warheads. Concealed by government secrecy\, the plant’s fires\, leaks\, and illicit dumping of nuclear waste contaminated the Denver area with long-lived radioactive toxins. \nA major—and highly visible—plutonium fire sparked a decade of mass protests\, culminating in an unprecedented FBI raid that ultimately shuttered the plant. \nAfter a multi-billion-dollar cap-and-cover effort\, the Rocky Flats site was transitioned into a national wildlife refuge. “The Most Dangerous Buildings in America” lie under six feet of soil at the heart of the refuge\, concealing a landscape still saturated with radioactive contamination. While state and federal officials claim the area is safe\, many community members and experts strongly disagree. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Today\, the radioactive legacy of Rocky Flats is invisible to the naked eye. New housing developments are engulfing areas known to be contaminated with radioactive plutonium. Thousands of former Rocky Flats workers have suffered devastating health issues from radiation exposure. Community members are investigating a potential link between Rocky Flats and troubling health reports in downwind neighborhoods. Ongoing lawsuits\, deception\, health concerns\, and persistent contamination issues continue to plague Rocky Flats\, yet the public is largely unaware of its past and its long-lived radioactive effects. \nThrough powerful testimonials and extraordinary archival media\, Half-Life of Memory exposes Rocky Flats’ dark past and enduring impact\, prompting critical reflection on the implications of the nation’s renewed nuclear weapons buildup.
