International Day of Anti-Nuclear Action
November 9 · Level 9 · #392 of 2238
This informal observance draws attention to nuclear dangers and the public movements seeking to reduce them. It encompasses campaigns against nuclear weapons and debate about the risks of nuclear energy. Participants may have different priorities, but human and environmental safety connect their concerns.
How it is celebrated: campaigners use peaceful demonstrations, public discussions, talks and artistic actions to raise awareness. Disarmament, the legacy of testing and the prevention of radiation disasters are recurring themes.
Anti-nuclear campaigning is not a single position: someone can oppose nuclear weapons while supporting nuclear power. The two debates overlap without being identical.
