US LEADERSHIPFOR A NUCLEARWEAPONS-FREEWORLDThey set down their weapons, carryinginstead the spirits of their ancestors,a collection of smooth stones.At night, they make fires, and watchthe smoke rise into the starlit sky.They are warriors of hope, navigatingoceans and crossing continents.Their message is simple: Nowis the time for peace. It always has been.Archbishop Desmond M.

A MESSAGEFROM THEPRESIDENTFoundation President David Krieger confers with former Danish Minister ofForeign Affairs Moges Lykketoft in Copenhagen in 2007. Dr. Krieger spoke at asymposium in the Danish Parliament. He spoke on the topic of “US Leadershipfor a Nuclear Weapons-Free World,” addressing an audience made up ofparliamentarians, their staff and representatives of civil society organizations.DEAR FRIEND OF THE FOUNDATION,The year 2007 was a year of nuclear danger throughout the globe. At the beginningof the year, four former Cold Warriors (George Shultz, William Perry, Henry Kissingerand Sam Nunn) endorsed “the goal of a world free of nuclear weapons and workingenergetically on the actions required to achieve that goal .” We couldn’t agreemore. It is a goal we have been diligently pursuing for the past 25 years.In this Annual Report you will find out much more about the Foundation’s manyactivities. Among our activities during the year, we developed a new DVD onNuclear Weapons and the Human Future, to educate people on nuclear dangersand how they can make a difference in ending these dangers. The DVD has hadshowings in more than 100 countries and all 50 states in the US. We also createdan Appeal to the Next President of the United States for US leadership for a nuclearweapons-free world. It calls for seven steps to secure a world free of nuclearweapons. You can sign the Appeal at www.wagingpeace.org/appeal or simplydetach the form on page 27, sign it and return it to us.Another of our activities in 2007 that continues this year is the tracking of the USpresidential candidates’ positions on issues of nuclear policy. We sent out a questionnaire to the presidential candidates, and posted their responses, supplemented bytheir statements and votes on nuclear issues, on our www.wagingpeace.org website.As a purely non-partisan service, we’ve tried to educate Americans on where thecandidates stand on US nuclear policy issues.As Albert Camus said immediately after the bombing of Hiroshima, “Before theterrifying prospects now available to humanity, we see even more clearly that peaceis the only battle worth waging.” More than 60 years later, achieving peace is noless important for humanity’s future.At the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, we wage the battle of peace daily, and yoursupport makes this possible. Thank you for caring,President2WAGING PEACE

HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCEVoice of Conscience,Resource for a WorldFree of Nuclear WeaponsFor 25 years, the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation has been a voice of conscience to ourcommunity, nation and world. Our message is that nuclear weapons threaten the futureof all life on our planet, and it is the responsibility of all of us, working together, to endthis threat forever. Nuclear weapons were created by humans, and they must be abolished by us –by all of us. Peace in a world free of nuclear weapons is everyone’s birthright. It is the greatestchallenge of our time to restore that birthright to our children and all future generations.Without accurate information, people can feeldisenfranchised and disheartened about theprospects for peace. With it, people can join thedebate and make a difference. By publishingbooks, articles and op-ed pieces, through our websites and in our speaking engagements around theworld, the Foundation seeks the widest dissemination of the truth about nuclear weapons.Knowledge has a multiplier effect because peoplenaturally want to pass it on. For example, did youknow there are about 26,000 nuclear weapons inthe world, and that 3,500 of them can be fired inminutes? Well, now you do. And because you do,you can share that information with a friend. It isone thing to talk about the most immediate catastrophic threat to humankind; it is quite anotherto imagine all those thousands of death devicesready to destroy the lives of millions of ordinarypeople. It’s a good reason to speak out for nucleardisarmament, don’t you think?NUCLEAR AGE PEACE FOUNDATION3

HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCEUS Leadershipfor a NuclearWeapons-FreeWorldAN APPEAL TO THENEXT PRESIDENT OFTHE UNITED STATESOur US Leadership Appeal, which we launched late in 2007, aimsto collect one million signatures and present them to the newPresident on Inauguration Day in January 2009. It’s one thing totalk about the threat from nuclear weapons, and quite another toexplain how we can eliminate the threat. This national Appeal educates as it motivates – showing seven steps, each of which would makethe world a safer place. The key is the United States taking the lead towork with other nations towards the abolition of nuclear weapons.Achieving a world free of nuclear weapons is not something thatwill happen overnight. International negotiations take time, and thesensitive work to undo over six decades of apocalyptic nuclear policymust be completed with great attention to detail.We believe that a nuclear weapons-free world will not come to bewithout the leadership of the United States. As the world’s mostmilitarily powerful nation, the US is in a unique position to initiatethe Appeal’s seven steps toward the abolition of nuclear weapons: De-alert all nuclear weapons; Commit to No First Use; No new nuclear weapons; Ban nuclear testing forever; Control nuclear material worldwide; Nuclear Weapons Convention; Reallocate resources for peace.4WAGING PEACE

The Appeal, which anyone can sign on-line atwww.wagingpeace.org/appeal, will be sent tothe next President of the United States whenhe or she takes office on January 20, 2009.The Appeal is also reprinted on page 27 ofthis Annual Report. If you prefer, you cansign a paper copy and mail it in to us. Eitherway, the next President will know that youand many others like you are tired of livingunder the shadow of nuclear weapons.We encourage you, and everyone you know,to sign this Appeal for a nuclear weaponsfree world.Join these people of integrity andpeace in sending a message to thenext occupant of the White House:The XIVth Dalai LamaWalter CronkiteArchbishop Desmond TutuDaniel EllsbergDouglas Roche, O.C.Jackson BrowneBonnie RaittJeff BridgesFrancis Moore Lappé (Diet for a Small Planet)Professors Paul & Anne Ehrlich(The Population Bomb)Noel (Paul) Stookey and Mary Travers(Peter, Paul & Mary)NUCLEAR AGE PEACE FOUNDATION5

HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCEA New DVD –Nuclear Weapons andthe Human FutureThe Cold War ended in 1991, but our country’sthinking about nuclear weapons has not progressed. The United States currently maintains ahuge number of nuclear weapons as a deterrent eventhough there is no longer any nation to deter. In fact,current plans to build new nuclear weapons only feedproliferation urges among the “have-not” countries.A change in thinking is definitely needed.That’s why, in October 2007, the Foundation releasedNuclear Weapons and the Human Future. Written andnarrated by Foundation President David Krieger, thevideo presents the Foundation’s case against nuclearweapons in a clear, easy-to-follow format.“The video is excellent and a very informativetool, especially for those that don’t think nuclearwar is a threat.” – Lorraine, California, USA.“The video was an incredible hit. I think manywere taken aback by the information they learned.I’m encouraging community film groups aroundthe region to screen this DVD.”– Rick, Washington, USA.“I wish you could send a copy of your materials toevery world leader so that they could think twicebefore spending such huge capital for destructioninstead of saving it for construction.” – Reza, Iran.“I could hardly believe that this video was produced by an organization in the US, for the US isthe biggest manufacturer of nuclear bombs in theworld – big up for your work!”– Laurent, Tanzania.“The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation has done awonderful job on an issue that has too long beenon the back burner of our national life.”– Lea, Vermont, USA.6WAGING PEACEFree copies of the DVD have been ordered by individuals and groups in 109 countries and all 50 US states.In addition to thousands of Internet viewers, thevideo has been seen on public television stations incities across the United States.In 2008, the Foundation plans to produce and distribute thousands of copies of Nuclear Weapons and theHuman Future. Educational, social and religiousgroups will play a large part in spreading the call fora nuclear weapons-free world by showing the DVD atmeetings and public events.The video was produced and edited by RyanRoberson, a film student at the University ofCalifornia Santa Barbara, and Ivan Van Wingerden, astudent at California Polytechnic State University.

TrackingPresidentialCandidates’Quotes onNuclearWeaponsPolicyUS Presidential candidates dominated the headlinesfor much of 2007 – what they ate at an Iowa diner;which celebrity offered an endorsement; who got ahaircut; who dropped out of the race.One issue that many people care about, which is onlysuperficially addressed in many of the candidate debates,is that of US nuclear weapons policy.The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation has compiled quotesand voting records for each of the major candidates inthe Democratic and Republican parties, focusing on thesefive categories: Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Disarmament Missile Defense New Nuclear Weapons /Reliable Replacement Warhead Use of Nuclear WeaponsThis project, featured prominently on the Foundation’swww.wagingpeace.org website, has been a valuableresource for potential voters interested in these key issues.As a 501(c)3 organization, the Nuclear Age PeaceFoundation does not endorse specific candidates or political parties. The project is for educational purposes only.We seek a world free of nuclearweapons. We also seek thedevelopment and applicationof international law to ensurethat happens. One event in2008 is likely to have morebearing on our goals than anyother. It is the election of thenext President of the UnitedStates. His, or her, policy decisions could create a dramaticchange in United Statesnuclear policy. As a 501(c)3charity, we do not endorsecandidates. However, we dobelieve the public deserves tobe informed. To this end, wewill be tracking the candidates’ positions on nuclearissues and posting theirquotes on our website,www.wagingpeace.org, forall to see.NUCLEAR AGE PEACE FOUNDATION7

HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCEWaging Peace withWalter CronkiteWalterCronkite,probablyAmerica’s bestknown televisionjournalist of the20th century,topped off anextraordinary yearfor the Nuclear AgePeace Foundationby putting his pento work for peace.He wrote an op-edpiece with FoundationPresident David Kriegercalled “Our TroopsMust Leave Iraq.” Itran in newspapersaround the world inDecember and drew agreat deal of attention onpopular Internet sites liketruthout.org andcommondreams.org.Then Mr. Cronkiteshowed how passionatelyhe believes in peace andthe abolition of nuclearweapons by authoringthe Foundation’s year-endappeal letter. We reprint ithere with deep respect andappreciation for the insightand wisdom he has broughtto our organization andour cause.WALTER07December 20andy, thevasion of Norm d WatergateInehT:Dear Friends,tsenVietnam anng world evMissile Crisis,time chroniclifeanlie essencebautCeenthspet,I havied to get to th estions.onflictrCeanavhreoIKs,earrials, ththe hard qure than 70 yeNuremberg Talways askingrnalist for modujoanalysirAfa.wrtying to repoto name a feing closely, trrvseions?bo–gsof thintions for you:future generatestouqardwarghinwdfens (and ter-enof other natioNow, I have agacy of neverrlegeaeanavelethtoattacks?totleg pre-emptive Do you waninicans vulneraberchnmuAlaedavanlet togreatf threatening Do you wandchildren andave a policy ohanegrw,nsereaudilecrorists) bwant our chworld do youfoa worlddinkath Wrth.

Grassroots AdvocacyThrough our “Turn the Tide” project,people can easily contact their electedrepresentatives and tell them wherethey stand on specific issues. We sendout regular e-mail “action alerts” invitingpeople to make their own voices heard.This project facilitated more than 10,000letters to members of Congress in 2007on issues of critical importance like fundingfor the Reliable Replacement Warheadproject, which sought to replace everythermonuclear weapon in the US arsenal.A nuclear explosion would be a disaster – most people agree. Most people would also agreethat preventing such a disaster is desirable. So what we’re talking about is really publicsafety. Not radical. Not partisan. Just common sense. Nuclear weapons are a grassrootsissue because nuclear weapons cast a shadow over everyone.Santa BarbaraA PEACE COMMUNITY805-965-3443 www.wagingpeace.orgIn 2007, we laid the groundwork to launch acommunity-based peace leader campaign.We are creating a model program that canbe duplicated in other communities. In 2008,we will recruit, train and support peace leaders who will then use the new DVD and theUS Leadership Appeal to inform at least 100people each over the course of the year. Theidea is to create a face-to-face educationalcampaign.Our experience is that most people don’tknow important facts about nuclear weapons– facts that could affect their future. Thisinformation gap puts us all at risk. How canwe decide if we want to do anything aboutnuclear weapons if we don’t know the extentof the threat, nor the ways to eliminate thatthreat? That’s where education is an essentialstep. We believe such education is particularly potent when offered on personal andcommunity levels. Our hope is that success inSanta Barbara during 2008 can be duplicatedelsewhere in future years.NUCLEAR AGE PEACE FOUNDATION9

HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCEPRIORITIES FOR2008 INCLUDE: Continuing our work tostop the US-India nucleartrade deal. Working to stop theproduction of new nuclearweapons by permanentlyending funding for theReliable ReplacementWarhead. Promoting ratificationof the ComprehensiveTest Ban Treaty. Opposing reprocessing ofnuclear material in theUnited States by buildingopposition to the GlobalNuclear Energy Partnership. Opposing the Departmentof Energy’s Nuclear ComplexTransformation.Nuclear Age Peace Foundation Washington, DC Office Director Nick Roth, left,confers with Indiana Congressman Pete Visclosky – after the Congressionalvictory zeroing out funding for new nuclear warheads.Washington, DC Office –Influencing New LegislationFunding for a new generation of nuclear weapons was eliminated by Congress in 2007, and our Washington, DC office was atthe forefront of the campaign to achieve this goal. In the FY08Omnibus Appropriations bill, Congress refused to allocate anymoney for the Bush administration’s Reliable ReplacementWarhead plan to build 125 new nuclear warhead cores per year.Throughout the year, the Foundation’s DC staff also workedon the following issues: Stopping the US-India nuclear trade deal by joining theCampaign for Responsibility in Nuclear Trade. Promoting the need for a change in US nuclear policy bysupporting Senator Dianne Feinstein’s Nuclear Policy and PostureReview Act (S. 1914), which calls for new nuclear policy andposture reviews that incorporate international obligations whileeliminating funding for the Reliable Replacement Warhead. Helping to organize a national lobby called DC Days as a memberof the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability. In three days, 80 congressional offices were visited by activists from across the country. Staging a Think Outside the Bomb Conference promoting peaceleadership and activism in Washington, DC.10WAGING PEACE

Middle Powers Initiative –International Advocacyhe Middle Powers Initiative (MPI) is a coalitionof seven international non-governmentalorganizations working for the elimination ofnuclear weapons. MPI works with “middle power”governments to encourage them to press thenuclear weapons states to fulfill their obligationsfor nuclear disarmament and take immediate stepsto reduce risks.TIn 2008, these events feature prominently:The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation is a foundingmember of this coalition, and Foundation PresidentDavid Krieger is a member of the MPI InternationalSteering Committee. Another Article VI Forum will take place inBerlin in November 2008. The consultation willlook at the opportunities and challenges inlight of changes of government in key nations. The fifth Article VI Forum consultation, “NPT:Pathfinder to a Nuclear Weapons-Free World,”in Dublin with the support of the Governmentof Ireland. The consultation will focus onstrengthening the NPT and push further inpromoting the abolition of nuclear weapons.Here are the highlights for MPI during 2007: High-level delegations sent to the foreignministries of key middle power countries suchas Germany, Canada, Japan, the Netherlands,Italy, Belgium and Norway. Former President Jimmy Carter has invited MPIto organize another strategy consultation at theCarter Center prior to the 2010 Non-ProliferationTreaty Review Conference. “Towards 2010,” MPI’s NPT strategy document,detailing seven priorities, was presented to theleadership of the 2007 Preparatory Committeefor the 2010 NPT Review and distributed widelyto governments. Governments are using MPImaterial in debates and policy formulation.ANALYZINGTHE ISSUESStrengthening international lawmight sound like a dry subject,but it is an essential part of thestrategy for peace. Withoutstrong international agreements,a world free of nuclear weaponswill remain a dream. In order tofully understand these issues andthe issues that bear directly onnuclear matters, the Foundationholds and participates in anumber of conferences everyyear. Engaging in this expertdiscussion allows us to staywell-informed. But more importantly, it allows us to influencethe debate.NUCLEAR AGE PEACE FOUNDATION11

HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCEYouth Empowerment InitiativeYoung people often get the message that it’s theirresponsibility to change the world, but it’s rare thatanyone gives them any idea of how.That’s where the Youth Empowerment Initiative has a crucialrole. We give youth the tools and skills they need to expressthemselves effectively. We help them build the structuresand communities they can use to seek change. Beyond simply teaching youth and students about nuclear weaponsabolition, the Youth Empowerment Initiative seeks to bringyoung people into positions of self-leadership. Our mainprograms are:UC NUCLEAR FREESince its founding in 2001, the UC Nuclear Free campaignhas accompanied and helped guide the campaign to endUniversity of California management of the Los Alamos andLawrence Livermore National Laboratories. Contributing to acoalition featuring active students from most UC campuses,UC Nuclear Free has seen this coalition, known as theCoalition to Demilitarize the UC, become the most powerfuland effective grassroots student movement against nuclearweapons in the country. Los Alamos National Laboratory andLawrence Livermore National Laboratory are responsible forthe research and development of every nuclear weapon inthe US arsenal. We believe students can guide their university towards sending a stunning vote of “no confidence” inthe US nuclear weapons complex. We believe the UC shouldstop lending their good name to weapons of mass destruction. Our goal is straight-forward: to delegitimize nuclearweapons at their source.Think Outside the Bomb conference12WAGING PEACEMay 2007 -- Students at UC Santa Barbara rallyagainst their university’s management of thenation’s two major nuclear weapon research anddesign laboratories.MAKE BOOKS,NOT BOMBSThe Nuclear Age PeaceFoundation believes theUniversity of California is oneof the most valuable assets inour state. However, we do notbelieve the University ofCalifornia should be managingthe national laboratories thatdesign and develop nuclearweapons. Through our UCNuclear Free program, we workwith UC students, staff andalumni to urge the Universityof California to stop providinglegitimacy to such destructivetechnology and research.

UC AND THE BOMB CLASSThe Nuclear Age Peace Foundation provides resourcesand advice for student-directed classes on the nuclearweapons, waste, and fuel complexes, and above all,the UC’s involvement in them. The class has grown inpopularity since it began in 2005. Now it has beentaught on five UC campuses.STUDENT OVERSIGHTCOMMITTEEOn April 25th, the UC Santa Barbara AssociatedStudents Legislative Council unanimously approved aresolution to create a Student Department of EnergyLabs Oversight Committee (DOELOC). The Committeeis an official body of UCSB Associated StudentGovernment, and is charged with monitoring andinvestigating the work of the Lawrence Livermoreand Los Alamos Nuclear Weapons Laboratories,especially in regard to Article VI of the nuclearNon-Proliferation Treaty and educating the studentcommunity on their findings. Foundation YouthEmpowerment Initiative Coordinator Steve Stormoenserves as an advisor to DOELOC. Additionally, studentsat UC Santa Cruz passed a resolution through theirStudent Union Assembly government decrying theUC’s management of the labs, and calling for lab severance and the creation of a DOELOC at UCSC, as well.UC REGENTS’ACCOUNTABILITYIn May 2007, almost 150 UC students gathered atthe Regents’ meeting at UC San Francisco to bringa resolution to the Regents to cut ties with thenuclear weapons labs.PEACE LEADERSHIP CLUBSThis program cultivates organizing and leadershipskills among high school-aged youth. In 2007, thePeace Leadership Clubs program took off with itsfirst major event – the Santa Barbara County PeaceLeadership Training on March 23-25. The trainingbrought high school students from throughout SantaBarbara County together for a weekend of informational workshops and skills training on how to be aneffective peace activist.THE YOUNG ANDTHE PEACEFULMore than 100 young people from allaround the country came to SantaBarbara in August 2007 to take partin our sixth Think Outside the BombConference. The goal: to empowerthese young people with informationabout the issues, guidance frominspiring speakers and practical helpon how to start peace groups andbecome leaders in their own areas.The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation initiated the firstThink Outside the Bomb student leadership conferencein the summer of 2005 at the University of Californiaat Santa Barbara. Since then, with Foundation sponsorship, Think Outside the Bomb has grown into avibrant national network of youth actively engagedin nuclear abolition, with six conferences in threecities over three years. These conferences empoweredhundreds of participants, providing a unique spacefor youth and students to meet and learn from eachothers’ struggles.In 2007, Think Outside the Bomb started a new tradition in April by holding a regional conference, hostedby the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation’s DC office, atAmerican University in Washington, DC.Think Outside the Bomb’s national conference in2007 was more ambitious than any previous gathering.The event, held at UCSB, featured many innovativeelements, such as an open community screening ofTrespassing, a documentary chronicling the nuclearindustry’s exploitation of American Indian lands.Participants hailed from 17 states and representedover 30 schools, colleges and communities.NUCLEAR AGE PEACE FOUNDATION13
