in-person DC Days on June 8-11, 2025! Come to Washington, DC to help address nuclear weapons and waste cleanup!

March 28, 2025 By Bob Kinsey

Those who applied for scholarships will be notified next week about funding decisions.

Scholarship awardees and others are encouraged to register as soon as possible and before the April 8 date, when registration costs will increase.

You can register for DC Days at https://ananuclear.org/dc-days-registration/

People that tried to register between March 8 and 20th were unable to do so. But the registration process is working again. If you have not received a registration confirmation, you are not registered!

The registration costs are: $150 early bird registration (by April 8) for those self-identified as under 30 or BIPOC or frontline communities; $225 regular registration by April 8. After April 8 the costs increase to $200 for those under 30 or BIPOC or frontline communities; and $350 regular registration.

Housing.

ANA has secured some beds at Friends Place, 515 E. Capitol St, SE (just four blocks from Capitol Hill). A number of scholarship awardees will be staying there. Available beds are bunk beds on upper floors. For those interested, the beds are $50 per night, so that’s lower cost than many other options. If you are interested in having a bed, please let me know as soon as possible, as they will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. You can see more about Friends Place at: https://www.friendsplacedc.org/

DO NOT contact Friends Place about reservations, as reservations are done through ANA.

Orientation.

On Wednesday, May 21 at 8 ET, 7 CT, 6 MT, 5 PT there will be a virtual orientation. All first time participants should plan to attend! People who have previously attended DC Days are also welcome. The orientation will cover all aspects of DC Days, including logistics, the issues on which we’ll be lobbying, as well as time for questions and answers.

Sunday Training.

Please arrive in DC by Saturday, June 7, in order to attend the all-day training on Sunday, June 8, starting at 9 am at the United Methodist Building, 100 Maryland Ave, NE (where we had the training in 2023 and 2024). Team meetings will be Monday, June 9 through Wednesday, June 11 with congressional and administration officials.

The awards nomination process has started:

ANA member organizations can nominate someone to receive an award at the Reception on Tuesday, June 10. The event is always a high point of DC Days. The deadline for Nominations is April 14. The DC Days Committee decides who receives the awards.

As we have done in recent years, there’s a central location for information about DC Days 2025 at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1p5nxIw_6Et-oypzmfe-duMtGnaSCownlimh_UeVIuF8/edit?usp=sharing

The possible meetings tab shows meetings that we may try to arrange. If there are meetings that you want to have and are not on the Possible Meetings list, please email me about the additional meetings that you think we should try to set up.

We look forward to seeing many of you in DC on June 8!

Disarmament Quotes

Viewing Trinity Test July 16,1945: "Now we are all Sons of Bitches"

Kenneth BainbridgeDeputy Director Manhatten Project

“Everything I did at Kings Bay was a result of my faith and my commitment to challenge the idols whose only purpose is to destroy human life on an unimaginable scale. I went to Kings Bay to use my body to refuse to bow down to these idols. I went to try to bring attention to the idolatry that it is requiring of our nation and its people. I went in a spirit of prayer and repentance. I went in hope that this witness might invite other people to reflect on the obscenity and on the idolatry that it is before God.”

Liz McAlisterKings Bay Protestor 2019

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending he sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children...This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron." --spoken to the American Society of Newspaper Editors 1953

Dwight EisenhowerUS President 1953-1961

We are prone to self-righteousness if we call ourselves peacemakers, and yet do not perceive how the peace issue cuts through all the economic and social issues that we often try to keep separate. If the race for nuclear arms is encouraged by our fear of losing the affluent ways of life that we have taken for granted, then we must see how our fears and desires have left so many other human beings naked and hungry.

Malsolm Warford"The Church's Role in a Nuclear Age

A world free of the threat of nuclear weapons is necessarily a world devoid of nuclear weapons…. Nuclear weapons pose an intolerable threat to humanity and our habitat…. Others subscribe to Churchill’s assertion ‘Peace is the sturdy child of terror.’ For me, such a peace is a wretched offspring, a peace that condemns us to live under a dark cloud of perpetual anxiety, a peace that codifies mankind’s most murderous instincts….The beast must be chained, its soul expunged, its lair laid waste.

General Lee ButlerFormer Commander, Strategic Air Command, April 28, 1996
