Ban Nuclear Weapons Buechel

We fight with non-violent actions to ban nuclear weapons. With this work camp, the Peace Workshop Mutlangen e.V. supports the resistance against the last nuclear bombs in Germany. As part of the national campaign "Nuclear Weapons Free", which is supported by almost 80 peace organisations, we participate every year in the non-violent protest at the airbase Büchel in the Eifel. We invite all volunteers to join us to learn more about the peace movement and to support our activities against nuclear armament. During the work camp we will take part in the church action day, the ICAN-IPPNW week and the international week. You will learn a lot about history of nuclear disarmament, confidence building measures and non-violent concepts in activism. In addition to workshops, there will be a bicycle demonstration, storytelling cafés, concerts and hikes, as well as plenty of time for getting to know each other and personal exchange: You can expect an exciting time of working together, learning and having fun in the great outdoors. You can meet active and committed people of all ages and experience a unique atmosphere of community and peace. The campaign: 20 nuclear bombs are still stored in the military camp at Büchel. They belong to the USA and are stationed in Germany as part of NATO's nuclear sharing programme. In case of emergency, the bombs are flown and used by German pilots on the orders of the US president. Instead of banning the storage and withdrawing the bombs, as required by international law since this year, Germany is modernising these weapons of mass destruction with billions of Euros. The campaign draws attention to the issue with the action presence "20 weeks - 20 bombs". The campaign is part of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), which received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017 for its commitment against nuclear weapons.
