From the Ban the Bomb movement to peace and planet summer, for seven decades people have resisted the menace of nuclear weapons that overshadow life on planet Earth.

This blog is dedicated to stories of protest and resistance, calls for nuclear disarmament, remembering those who have made and do make significant contributions to peace.

These are extraordinary stories. It has been an honor and privilege to recruit the material for the blog as a United for Peace and Justice project for Nuclear-Free Future Month and Peace and Planet Summer.

Don't Bank on the Bomb

Our anti-nuke friends in the Netherlands have an interesting campaign going called Don't Bank on the Bomb.

They have a new report out detailing companies that make nuclear weapons - who makes them, who invests in them and how much money is involved (493 billion USD - since 2011).  Financial institutions that have divested from deadly production are listed.

There are 26 companies involved in the production, maintenance and modernization of nuclear weapons:  in France, India, Italy the Netherlands, the UK and the US, including Raytheon, Babcock and Wilcox, Lockheed Martin, Textron (US), Airbus Group (Netherlands), Thales (France), Walchandnagar Industries (India), BAE Systems (UK) with the largest number in the US.
