Join Citizens Against Nuclear Bombers in Vermont (CANBVT), Safe and Green Campaign, Traprock Peace Center and concerned citizens in a discussion about the F-35 nuclear bombers soon to be based in Burlington. Dr. Ira Hefland of Physicians for Social Responsibility is our featured speaker for the night. Come get informed on the bombers and what it means to have them based in our state on Monday, April 22nd 6:00pm Centre Congregational Church, 193 Main Street in Brattleboro. We will meet in the Parlor. Free Ben & Jerry's ice cream, too.

The F-35 planes will come to the National Guard base in northern Vermont this September. Nothing about nuclear bomb capability was brought up in the planning process that approved the aircraft being sited in Vermont. The first information the nuclear weapon capability and mission of the F-35 came to light in the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review. For example:

"The United States is incorporating nuclear capability onto the forward-deployable, nuclear-capable F-35 as a replacement for the current aging DCA (dual capable aircraft). " — (2018 Nuclear Posture Review, Introduction, page X-XI).

Both of Vermont's senators have said they oppose building new nuclear weapons. Our current President has impulsively made statements about wanting to use nuclear weapons. A resolution is being proposed in the VT Senate (the Pollina/Clarkson Resolution) to keep Vermont nuclear weapon and nuclear weapon system free. Rep. Brian Cina and Rep. Jim McCullough has put forth a similar resolution in the VT House.
