Over 200 college students from 15 national campuses participated in plenary sessions, panel discussions and workshops on issues ranging from nuclear weapons and global security to campus and community organizing.

Public Education & Outreach The Foundation expanded its electronic outreach to become one of the nation’s leading online resources for public education on nuclear issues. Early in 2005, we were invited to partner in an educational collaborative called Nuclear Pathways. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation, our partners include Washington & Lee University, Kennesaw State University and Atomic Archive. Our Nuclear Files website (www.nuclearfiles.org) is the fourth major resource in this collaborative, seeking a greater diffusion of knowledge about the Nuclear Age. Our combined websites were viewed in 2005 by more than 1.5 million indi- vidual visitors. This includes a significant number of individuals, both in the US and around the world, who view us as a primary resource for information about nuclear policy and other peace issues. In 2005, the Foundation or mem- bers of its staff appeared in print, radio or web-based media over 160 times. This includes major AP newswire stories and top-tier national newspapers.

Moving Forward Through these exciting activities, the Foundation is making progress toward the creation of a safer, more secure world free of nuclear weapons. We appreci- ate your continued support and commitment to our goals and hope that com- ing years will present new opportunities to move our agenda for peace forward.

6 Waging Peace MIDDLE POWERS INITIATIVE

The Foundation is a founding member of the Middle Powers Initiative (MPI), a coalition of eight international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working primarily with “middle power” governments to encourage and educate the nuclear weapons states to take immediate practical steps that reduce nuclear dangers and to commence negotia- tions to eliminate nuclear weapons. Middle power countries are politically and economically significant, internationally respected countries that have renounced the nuclear arms race, a standing that gives them political credibility. Foundation President David Krieger serves on MPI’s International Steering Committee, chaired by Senator Douglas Roche, O.C., a member of the Foundation’s Advisory Council and recipient of its 2005 Lifetime Achievement Award. In January 2005, David participated in an MPI col- laborative meeting with the Carter Center in Atlanta, “Atlanta Consultation II: On the Future of the NPT.” President Carter was present, along with delegates from a number of middle power governments, to HOLD HOPE, WAGE PEACE assess the future of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) regime.

12 Waging Peace Dan Ellsberg: “We cannot keep saying ‘We have a right to develop new weapons. We have a right to test new weapons. We have a right to threaten to use them,’ as we’re doing now, while also saying ‘You don’t have the right to have any.’ That gets us nowhere. We have to reverse these policies… The trouble is that in the nuclear era might doesn’t translate into omnipotence.”

Foundation President David Krieger presents Dan Ellsberg with the Distinguished Peace Leadership Award. Photo by Rick A. Carter.

Hon. Douglas Roche: “Nobody here is naïve enough to think that nuclear weapons can be eliminated overnight; they cannot be. But until we show that we are united in our desire and our commitment to start down that avenue together, to close all the loopholes, to close the ways in which countries and terrorists can get access to nuclear weapons, we’re going to live in a very danger- ous place. It defies credibility to suggest that we can go on with the status quo. The status quo is that we have nuclear weapons and they’re not being used. As long as any one country maintains nuclear weapons other countries are going to want to get them. They have become the currency of power.”

Nuclear Age Peace Foundation 15 2005 SWACKHAMER PEACE ESSAY CONTEST WINNERS

The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation is pleased to announce the winners of the 2005 Swackhamer Peace Essay Contest. The 20-year-old contest serves to encourage high school students worldwide to share their thoughts on nuclear and peace issues, and suggest ways to improve global security.

he theme for the 2005 contest was: “Our vision is a world at peace, free from the threat of war and free of weapons of Tmass destruction. Translate this vision into an action plan that you can implement in your community or on your campus. Write a proposal for a youth-led event, campaign, or project that educates members of your community and/or other students concerning the continuing threat of nuclear weapons and the need for nuclear disarmament.” Mindy Zhang of Fairfax, Virginia, and Carrie Hunter of Tallahassee, Florida each received $1,000 to implement their winning action plans.

RULES AND GUIDELINES

The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation’s Swackhamer Peace Essay Contest was established by the late Gladys Swackhamer in honor of her parents to encourage young people to think and act for peace. The contest is open to high school students worldwide.

16 Waging Peace Mindy Zhang: “Information and Involvement: The Beginning of Tomorrow’s Peacekeepers” Conference Mindy Zhang, a sophomore at Robinson Secondary School in Fairfax, Virginia, submitted a winning proposal to conduct a nonproliferation con- ference titled “Information and Involvement: The Beginning of Tomorrow’s Peacekeepers.” The conference will take place in October 2006, with students from the 25 high schools in Mindy’s district invited to attend. In part, the event will be based on the Model United Nations endeavor, with students assuming the roles of members of international bodies such as the United Nations General Assembly, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and the UN Security Council. Mindy writes, “These committees will give students the opportunities to communicate with one another about nuclear issues, while participating in a diplomatic simulation. Because of the popularity of Model UN in the DC area, we are expecting several hundred high school students (300-500) to attend the conference.” The conference will also feature informational workshops addressing nuclear nonproliferation and what high school students can do to encourage nuclear peace. Mindy plans to contact representatives of various organiza- tions in DC about leading these workshops, and will invite NAPF DC Office Director Carah Ong to give the opening remarks when the event convenes.

Carrie Hunter: Youth Film Festival The other winning proposal was submitted by Carrie Hunter, a high school graduate from Tallahassee, Florida, who recently completed her first year at Florida State University at Tallahassee. Carrie proposed a youth film festival and contest on nuclear issues in which young people, 18 and under, would submit short films regarding nuclear weapons, energy, waste, and/or reprocessing. A sliding scale of $500, $250, and $100 will be awarded to directors of the top three films. Efforts to promote the film festival are progressing steadily! The festival is scheduled to take place in late-August in Pensacola, Florida. At the time of this writing, the festival is being promoted primarily through online networking websites such as Facebook and Without-a-Box. The official website of the film festival is available at http://www.wagingpeace.org/youth.

Nuclear Age Peace Foundation 21 YOUTH OUTREACH INITIATIVE

UC Nuclear Free Campaign In December 2005, the US Department of Energy announced that a consor- tium made up of the University of California, Bechtel Corporation and a roster of other corporations and universities won a competitive bid to manage the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico. The group’s main compe- tition was a consortium led by the University of Texas and Lockheed Martin. For the past four years, the UC Nuclear Free campaign has worked to sever the ties between the University of California and both LANL and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in a principled effort to keep institutions of higher learning out of the business of developing weapons of mass destruc- tion. Our commitment to this aim has only strengthened in light of the Energy Department’s decision. The UC Nuclear Free campaign enjoyed numerous successes throughout 2005. Our “Universities Out of Bed with Bombs!” Day of Action on November 30, 2005 took place on seven campuses, including five UC campuses, the University of Colorado at Boulder, and the University of Texas at Austin. Our fall 2005 outreach efforts resulted in the formation of new UC Nuclear Free affiliate organizations at UC Davis, UC Riverside, and UC San Diego, which join our existing affiliates at UC Santa Cruz, UC Berkeley, and UC Santa Barbara. The campaign mobilized more students to speak out at the UC Regents meetings in May and November than at any such meeting since the 1980s. To coincide with the announcement of the bid winner, the UC Nuclear Free website was recently upgraded and re-launched. It now features a blog, which is updated throughout the week, along with several in-depth and insightful new features, extensive information on getting involved with the campaign and fre- quent updates on the campaign’s burgeoning number of events and activities. The number of visitors to ucnuclearfree.org quadrupled from October 2005- January 2006 due to the campaign’s increased visibility and active membership. We invite you to visit the site today at http://www.ucnuclearfree.org.

Guide to Demilitarizing our Nation’s Youth In late 2004, the Foundation took the lead in developing a publication aimed specifically at addressing issues of militarism and its impact on young people. This process culminated in a publication entitled, A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste: A Guide to the Demilitarization of America’s Youth and Students. Dubbed the “Demil Guide,” it was warmly embraced by youth across the country. Our initial run of 10,000 copies was quickly depleted due to overwhelming demand. In the spring of 2005, with the help of many of our supporters, we printed and distrib- uted an additional 10,000 copies. A special effort was made to respond quickly to requests for additional copies of this resource, and we were pleased with the enthusiasm with which it was received. To view a PDF copy of the Demil Guide, please visit http://www.wagingpeace.org/menu/programs/youth-outreach/demil- guide/demil_guide_2005_web.pdf. 22 Waging Peace Young Americans Gather to Put with a diverse group of young leaders, equipping Disarmament on US Agenda them with the knowledge, support and structure to implement these ideas.
