ART! MUSIC! PUPPETS! MAPPING NUCLEAR ABOLITION! Think Outside the Bomb seeks to build community and working knowledge through our national tour, by offering crucial information on the state of the US Nuclear Industrial Complex, as well as a critical look at how we engage in resistance. As we travel the country this summer, we will interact with local activists and organizing groups. We will focus on the issue of nuclear abolition and stress its intersections with other global movements, including: movements for sustainable energy, indigenous sovereignty struggles, environmental movements, labor movements, and movements that oppose the state of global capitalism, among others. We will also speak of creating a positive and affirming culture of resistance. |
