SUMMARY:Weaving the Web/inars: No fixed Abode Travellers Speak Out
DESCRIPTION:When ‘Women for Life on Earth’ walked to Greenham Common and decided to stay from September 1981 onwards\, they were helped by Travellers who traditionally visited and camped close to Greenham airbase and nearby Crookham Common in Berkshire. \nBook your free ticket now via Eventbrite \nAs the Greenham Women’s Peace Camp developed over the years\, there were many supportive exchanges with women of the Traveller communities\, from whom Greenham women learned a lot\, including how to make beautiful benders that kept the rain out (until evictions)! \nThis Greenham 40th webinar carries on these connections with women from ‘No fixed Abode Travellers and Supporters’ (nfATS) talking about their lives and challenges today\, including the 2021 Police\, Crime\, Sentencing and Courts Bill.  In their own words: \n“We are three women travellers living in trucks in the UK\, and we are part of nfATS\, a collective of mostly travellers.  We are diverse\, living in vehicles\, boats\, benders and tree houses\, travelling horse-drawn and with handcarts. We include those who now reside in houses and members who have never been nfA but support the nomadic life.  \nOur culture has always been under attack (you may remember the Peace Convoy at Greenham and Molesworth and the Battle of the Beanfields) for we have chosen to live outside of the system searching for a better way\, living off grid\, valuing our communities and a return to a more sustainable way of living. \nCurrently we face the proposed Police Crime Courts and Sentencing Bill.  If it passes\, it will criminalise trespass and threaten our very existence as travellers.  Our nfATS Collective is campaigning against this threat to the nomadic way of life\, whilst also campaigning for the continued freedom to access the land. Otherwise\, in 2026 all unrecorded rights of way will be lost when the definitive maps are redrawn\, putting all of us at risk of losing access to even more land. \nWe work with many other groups to highlight these issues and oppose the prejudice against Travellers.  There is so much creativity and beauty in our way of living that we want to share.  By showcasing some of this we hope people will understand and help us to continue our way of life without further legal barriers and prejudice.” \nSPEAKERS \n\nLou (NFATS)  nfATs Collective\nAmy ( I Choose the Road Podcast and nfATS) ‎I Choose The Road Podcast on Apple Podcasts\nJelly ( Author of ‘Thoughts of Freedom’ and nfATS) \n\nIncluding interviews with:  \n\nSherry Smith and Daughters (Drive 2 Survive -Traveller Coalition to fight the PCCSBill) Drive2Survive (@drive2survive2021) • Instagram photos and videos\nHedge-u-Cation\nBristol Van Dwellers Movement\nHAC\n\nBook your free ticket now via Eventbrite \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		Follow us on Twitter!\n		TwitterEmail

SUMMARY:Weaving the Web/inars: Greenham 40th: Western Shoshone Speak Out Against Nuclear Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\nNuclear Weapon ‘Test’ on Shoshone Land 1951 \nFrom 1958 to 1992\, the UK conducted 24 underground tests at the US Nevada Test Site\, on the ancestral lands belonging to the Western Shoshone people.  This Web/inar is coordinated by Juley Howard and explores the impacts of nuclear colonialism with Ian Zabarte\, who stands alongside Chief Raymond Yowell (ret’d) as Principal Man of the Western Bands of the Shoshone Nation of Indians in their continuing struggle for true sovereignty and justice.   \nMap of Newe Segobia\, as recognised by the 1863 Treaty of Ruby Valley \nOn 14 November 1990\, four activists\, including three Greenham Women who were also part of the Aldermaston Women’s Peace Camp(aign)\, halted a British nuclear test for new warheads for the Trident nuclear weapons system.  Jane Gregory\, Juley Howard\, Lorna Richardson and Michael Terry from local American Peace Test group had been given permission by the Elders of the Western Shoshone Nation to walk on their sacred ancestral lands to stop nuclear testing.  Following their arrest and subsequent trial in Las Vegas\, the Greenham and Aldermaston Women returned to Britain and organised meetings for Western Shoshone women to speak directly about British-American nuclear colonialism\, environmental contamination and violation of their land\, rights and sovereignty.  In July 1993\, 13 Greenham/Aldermaston Women were arrested for gate-crashing a Buckingham Palace Garden Party with visual materials that highlighted British nuclear testing and abuses against Western Shoshone rights and lands.  When the women stood trial in Bow Street Court\, they were supported by Western Shoshone Elder William Rosse Sr.\, who travelled to London and gave powerful testimony on this issue.   \nIan Zabarte (our main speaker) is a long-term political activist by necessity of being a member of the Western Shoshone Nation.  From Duckwater in Northern Nevada Ian has spent decades working with Western Shoshone elders to preserve the Western Shoshone territory – Newe Segobia.  Through organisations such as the Native Community Action Council\, the heart of Ian’s work is to maintain the Western Shoshones’ Treaty Rights from the agreement made with the US government at Ruby Valley in 1863.  This work encompasses fulfilling the treaty agreements\, environmental and social justice demands of the Shoshone Nation\, as well as their rights to conserve and use the land to support the traditional Shoshone lifestyle and to protect Western Shoshone cultural heritage.  \nIan has carried on the struggle to stop nuclear waste dumping at Yucca Mountain in the heart of Newe Segobia. He was part of the campaign to successfully end nuclear bomb tests in North America\, above and below ground.  Today he stands alongside Chief Raymond Yowell (ret’d) as Principal Man of the Western Bands of the Shoshone Nation of Indians in the fight for true sovereignty and justice.  \nIan Zabarte  \nThis Webinar is coordinated and facilitated by Juley Howard\, Greenham Common campaigner\, who took part in actions to stop the UK’s penultimate nuclear bomb explosion in 1990\, along with Greenham/Aldermaston campaigners Lorna Richardson and Jane Gregory\, Michael Terry from the American Peace Test action group\, plus Rebecca Johnson\, whose post-Greenham work with Greenpeace enabled this and other nonviolent activism at many nuclear test sites\, which contributed to the 1996 Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). \n  \nExplore the  Repository at University Nevada Reno relating to the lives of the Dann sisters and the Western Shoshone Defense Project dedicated to maintaining the Shoshone tradition of respect for and life in harmony with Mother Earth.  \nYucca Mountain on Shoshone land\, Nevada \n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		Follow us on Twitter!\n		TwitterEmail

SUMMARY:Weaving the Web/inars: Pacific Women Say ‘NO!’ to Nuclear Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Pacific Media Kit \nPacific Women Say ‘NO!’ to Nuclear Colonialism \n  \nWhen: \n28 August 2021 at 9am – 10.30am UK. \n  \nWebinar Description:  \nFive Pacific Women speak from their hearts. These women have personally experienced and witnessed the painful legacy of the colonialism that has been inflicted on their peoples for centuries. Emboldened by their inalienable cultures and enduring relationship with their ancestral homelands and oceans\, they have each spoken out\, becoming respected leaders amongst their peoples. And have dedicated their lives to reasserting their peoples’ inalienable sovereignty\, the removal of foreign military bases\, and a deep reassertion to caring for our Planet. These women represent their home nations of Fiji\, the Northern Marianas\, Guahan (Guam)\, the Marshall Islands\, and the Philippines. \n  \nSpeaker Info and Links:  \n  \nVanessa Griffen (Fiji): \n \nA Fijian academic and writer\, Vanessa Griffen has long campaigned against the use and proliferation of nuclear weapons. Whilst a student at the University of the South Pacific she joined the anti-nuclear movement ATOM (Against Testing on Mururoa) and helped form the Indigenous-led\, pan-oceanic Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific network. As a member of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons she presented at the United Nations negotiations on the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in 2017. \n  \nChailang Palacios (Northern Marianas): \n \nA Chamorro heritage custodian and teacher\, Chailang Palacios has long been a pioneer of reasserting Indigenous rights and banning all things nuclear. In the early 1980s she was active against Japanese nuclear waste dumping in the Marianas Trench\, just off her islands’ shores. In 1983 Chailang\, accompanied by Maori elder Titewhai Harawira\, toured Britain speaking to the wider peace movement. The stories they told shook all who heard them speak. Greenham women were horrified to learn that Pacific peoples had already suffered the nuclear devastation that they feared would develop in Europe. They formed the British-wide Women for a Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific network\, raising funds so that other Indigenous Pacific women could visit Greenham. \n  \nLisa Natividad (Guahan /Guam): \n \n Indigenous Chamoru woman\, Dr Lisa Natividad championed the exposure of human rights violations against her people and her homeland Guahan (Guam) which is a military colony of the United States. She speaks globally on the importance of decolonisation\, demilitarisation\, and the role of women in fostering safe and thriving communities. She has spoken most forcefully before the United Nations Fourth Committee\, Decolonisation Committee\, and the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. A former member of the Guam Decolonisation Commission\, she joined the Council of the International Peace Bureau in March 2021.   \n  \nAbacca Anjain-Maddison (Republic of the Marshall Islands): \n \nA former Senator for Rongelap Atoll within the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI)\, Abacca Anjain-Maddison is Deputy Chief Secretary of the RMI government. Born on Rongelap Atoll before the 1954 US nuclear test on nearby Bikini Atoll\, she and her whole community were heavily contaminated by nuclear fallout. It wasn’t until three days later that the US military evacuated the Rongelapese. By that time they were suffering from radiation illnesses. They were relocated to tiny Ebeye island in Kwajalein Atoll already a US military base. It is this experience that Abacca spoke about when she delivered the closing address on behalf of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) following the United Nations’ adoption of the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapon in 2019. \n  \nCorazon Valdez-Fabros (Philippines): \n \n Lawyer\, Corazon Valdez-Fabros has at various times been the Chairperson of the Pacific Concerns Resource Centre (the Secretariat of the Indigenous-led Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific Movement); a Co-Vice President for the International Peace Bureau; and the Secretary General of the Nuclear Free Philippines Coalition which\, established in 1981\, consisted of a coalition of 129 national and sectoral organizations that\, through lobbying together\, incorporated a nuclear weapons free provision into their national Constitution\,   instigated a new military bases agreement with the USA which led to the removal of the US military bases in 1992\, and facilitated the clean-up of the former US bases. In 2000 she spoke at the International Meeting of the World Conference against A & H Bombs. She was Chairperson of Peace Women Partners when it convened its 2009\, 2016 and 2020 International Conference on Women\, Peace and Security. \n  \nHost and Organiser: Dr Zohl dé Ishtar   \nIrish-Australian Dr Zohl dé Ishtar lived at Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp from 1983 to 1988 where she initiated the British-wide network Women Working for a Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific. She arrived at Greenham Common after riding her bicycle through Australia and Europe with the World Bike Ride for Peace\, Disarmament and a Nuclear Free Future during which she informed peace groups about the nuclear-colonialism of the Pacific. Having worked with Indigenous Australian and Pacific women since 1979\, she travelled widely in the Pacific in 1986-1987. From 1999 to 2019 she lived with Aboriginal Women Elders in Australia’s Great Sandy Desert helping them establish and manage their Kapululangu Aboriginal Women’s Law and Culture Centre. She is one of the 1000 Women Across the Globe which was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005. She authored two books: Daughters of the Pacific (1994) and Holding Yawulyu: White Culture and Black Women’s Law (2005). \nContact: Dr Zohl dé Ishtar\, zohldeishtar@gmail.com \nTickets here  \nZoom link will be emailed to all ticket holders 30 mins before event begins. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		Follow us on Twitter!\n		TwitterEmail

SUMMARY:Weaving the Web/inars: Greenham 40th: Feminist disarmament and treaty-building.
DESCRIPTION:Greenham on 27 August 1982\, Welsh women (including Reb Johnson\, front runner) enter USAF base and occupy the sentry box.  \n  \n\nThe Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp\, set up on 5 September 1981\, played an important role in empowering women to achieve disarmament\, starting with cruise missile deployments in Europe. \n\nThis first Weaving the Web/inar brings together two generations of women who visited\, lived or connected with Greenham\, to share experiences of nuclear disarmament campaigning\, from Hiroshima to the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitated by Rebecca Johnson\, who lived at Greenham from 1982 until the 1987 INF Treaty was signed\, our panel includes: \n★Setsuko Thurlow\, schoolgirl in 1945 when she survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima\, who committed her life to peace and justice\, and accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) in December 2017 \nSetsuko Thurlow visiting Greenham in 1980s  \n★Ambassador Elayne Whyte Gomez (Costa Rica)\, who served as President of the TPNW negotiations in the United Nations in 2017 \n\nSetsuko Thurlow and Ambassador Elayne Whyte Gomez after the UN Treaty banning nuclear weapons was adopted\, United Nations 7 July 2017 (photo by K.Sullivan).  \n\n★ICAN co-founder and researcher Dimity Hawkins AM\, from Australia \n★ Dr Patricia Lewis\, nuclear physicist and former director of UN Institute for disarmament research\, who advised the Irish delegation during TPNW negotiations \n★Disarmament educator Dr Kathleen Sullivan\, who co-founded Hibakusha Stories and brought atomic bomb survivors to speak to thousands of students and officials in New York and beyond. \nLooking to the future\, we will discuss how women make a difference at all levels of peace and security activism and diplomacy. The TPNW\, known as the Nuclear Ban Treaty\, entered into international legal force on 22 January 2021\, to prevent nuclear war and nuclear use and accidents. This new\, multilaterally negotiated UN Treaty prohibits the use\, production\, possession and deployment of all nuclear weapons\, along with a range of activities that could enable a government or terrorist to acquire and use nuclear weapons. It also sets out basic principles and pathways for existing nuclear armed countries to disarm and destroy their arsenals in ways that are effectively irreversible and verified\, and also requires support for survivors of nuclear use and testing and remediation of affected environments. \nAs we weave our stories together we will look to the future and discuss how to fulfil existing treaties and end the scourge of nuclear weapons and other destructive technologies that threaten all life on Earth. \n\n\n\n\n\nIf You Love This Planet\, please click this link to see Hiroshima survivor Setsuko Thurlow speaking when the UN Treaty banning nuclear weapons in 2020 \n\nSome background reading… \n\nUNODA 2016 book\, Reb Johnson chapter on Banning the Bomb\, Greenham to TPNW (1) \nTickets here\n\n\n\nZoom link will be emailed to all ticket holders 30 mins before event begins.\n\n\n\n\n\nFollow us on Twitter!\n\nTwitterEmail
