Start at Alvin K. Bissell Park and then march to Y-12 Weapons Complex, Oak Ridge. Rally at the park with music, theater, and a celebration of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. At 3:30 we will begin a march to the Y-12 Nuclear Weapons Complex. When we arrive at Y-12 (likely around 4:15), we will conduct a brief action in recognition of the Ban Treaty which confirms that, in the eyes of the world, the work at Y-12 is in violation of international law. This will serve as our weekly Sunday vigil.
