The AntiNuclear Coalition (ANC) notes the State Government is sponsoring yet another international conference to try and persuade us that nukes are exceptionally good for us!
If you can attend the vigil for even part of the day, please do so.
Plans are firming up for Adelaide to join the June 17th international Women’s Marches to Ban the Bomb.
We will march, from Tarndanyangga to Parliament House. Time to be 11 at Tarndanyangga or 11.30 a.m. at Parliament House, Sat June 17th. The march is endorsed by MAPW, ANC, FoE Adelaide and WILPF.
Please add the AGM details to your diary. We failed to get a quorum a month ago, so we’re having another try.
If you’re a current member, please come along. (If you want to join Adelaide FoE, you can do so using the membership form.)
If you’re a member of Friends of the Earth Adelaide, and can’t make the meeting, please consider sending a proxy to vote for you (they count towards the quorum!).
You can always ask Roman or Richard to take your proxy. Note that nominations and proxy forms should be received (either via email or at the Joinery, 111 Franklin St) at least 48 hours before the AGM, else their acceptance is at the whim of the AGM

The world is now facing a historic opportunity to prohibit nuclear weapons.
In October last year, a majority of the world’s states at the United Nations General Assembly agreed to start negotiations of a new legally binding treaty to prohibit nuclear weapons, in line with other treaties that prohibit chemical and biological weapons, landmines and cluster munitions.
As we’ve seen with these weapons, an international prohibition has created a strong norm against their use and speed up their elimination. The negotiations began at the United Nations in New York on March 27?31, and continue on 15 June to 7 July, with the aim of concluding a legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons.
