Proposition One is a grassroots movement for disarmament of nuclear weapons and
the conversion of nuclear and other arms industries to provide for human and environmental needs.

The concept was proven viable by the victory of DC Initiative 37.
The bill
has continuously been introduced in Congress since 1994.
Now we are asking you to replicate the Voter Initiative Campaign across the entire country.

Southeast Action Camp Workshops, August 19-21, 2011

Southeast Action Camp Workshops, August 19-21, 2011

I participated in the Southeast Action Workshop in Zirconia, NC the weekend of August 19-21, 2011.  Forty-plus people from not only the southeast, but as far away as Chicago and British Columbia, came together for a series of workshops (I presented the videography workshop, and planted seeds about Proposition One in other workshops).  I videotaped several of the workshops, and interviewed several participants.  I've uploaded these videos to YouTube.  Here is the list:
