UC Nuclear Free!
We, the undersigned, call upon the Regents of the University of California to immediately divest the U.C. of all association to the nation’s two nuclear weapons labs.
Why is this important?
Since their inception the University of California has managed both of the nation's nuclear weapons labs¹. Every nuclear weapon in the United States arsenal has been designed and developed under the auspices of the UC. It is unconscionable that an institution of higher learning be responsible for bringing weapons of mass destruction into the world. Furthermore, by continuing to manage the weapons labs the University of California legitimizes and helps shield from criticism the United States’ nuclear weapons program and arsenal.
