Wayman Invited to the Vatican for International Symposium Contributed by Sandy Jones, NAPF

N INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM CONCERNING NUCLEAR WEAPONS HELD RECENTLY AT THE VATICAN� ��

��

Jones: Would you say that the fear of nuclear weapons is more prevalent today than in recent history? Wayman: Never in my 12 years working on nuclear disarmament, nor in my adult life in general, have nuclear weapons been so prevalent in people’s minds and in the daily discourse. For many people, this increased alarm relates directly to the conﬂict – currently just a war of words – between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un. Jones: But nuclear weapons are not just dangerous in the hands of unpredictable, hot-tempered leaders...

Rick Wayman, Director of Peace Ops, shakes hands with Pope Francis

Wayman: Human beings are fallible. We send emails to the wrong person. We drop our iphones on the concrete. We hurt the feelings of those we love the most. But none of us have the power to single-handedly order the indiscriminate slaughter of millions of people through the use of nuclear weapons. Yet somehow we, as a society, trust the president – no matter who that president is

December 1, 2017

– to act rationally, maturely, calmly, with this obscene superpower.

Jones: Would you say that nuclear weapons are a national security issue of the highest order? Wayman: Nuclear weapons for decades have been treated as a security issue, and sometimes as a political issue. In reality, though, nuclear weapons are a humanitarian issue. If one truly understands the humanitarian consequences of the use of nuclear weapons– that an effective humanitarian response to a nuclear detonation is not possible; that the roads are destroyed; communications networks are fried; most of the doctors, nurses, and ﬁrst responders are killed or injured; hospitals are ﬂattened; burn units do not nearly have the capacity for the number of burn victims there would be... You get the point. From a humanitarian perspective, any use of nuclear weapons would be catastrophic, and is categorically unacceptable. This perspective – from survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, from survivors of nuclear testing in the Marshall Islands, Kazakhstan, Australia, next door in Nevada, and many other places around the world – has received renewed attention recently as we have attempted to move the international discussion away from a “security” frame and refocus it on what is real – how nuclear weapons impact people. Jones: You recently visited with Pope Francis. What was that meeting like? Wayman: Pope Francis delivered a strong speech on the moral imperative for nuclear disarmament,

Rick Wayman, Director of Peace Ops is second from the right, next to Beatrice Fihn, Director of ICAN, and other members of ICAN, all winners of the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize and took the time to meet each one of us individually. Speaking about the catastrophic humanitarian and environmental effects of nuclear weapons, he said, “The threat of their use, as well as their very possession, is to be firmly condemned.” Think about that –The threat of use of nuclear weapons is to be firmly condemned. Nuclear deterrence – the idea that our overwhelming ability to destroy an adversary with nuclear weapons will deter them from attacking us or what we call our vital interests – has at its core the threat to use nuclear weapons. Are there any other significant quotes from Pope Francis you’d like to share? Wayman: The U.S. is in the beginning of a 30-year plan to spend at least

$1.25 trillion on new nuclear weapons, delivery systems, and production infrastructure. This is about $80,000 per minute – every minute, for 30 years – on nuclear weapons. Pope Francis criticized this outrageous spending, saying, “As a result, the real priorities facing our human family, such as the ﬁght against poverty, the promotion of peace, the undertaking of educational, ecological, and healthcare projects, and the development of human rights, are relegated to second place.” It was a once in a lifetime experience to shake the hand of Pope Francis and exchange greetings – it is truly a moment I will never forget.

Trump effect: The surge to citizenship

By Melinda Burns / Contributor

Photo by Melinda Burns

OSEFINA VALDEZ AND HER LATE HUSBAND ��

María del Rosario Aguayo and her husband, Juan Aguilera, attended citizenship classes for two years before taking and passing the civics test in Los Angeles. The couple has been living and working in Goleta for more than 25 years. They said they had green cards but decided to become citizens for fear that they might be deported and separated from their extended family under the anti-immigrant policies of President Donald Trump.

Immigration crackdown drives many in this county to become Americans

Enrollment in citizenship classes offered by Santa Barbara City College, such as this one at Santa Barbara High School, and Allan Hancock College in the North County, has increased by dozens of students since Trump became president and launched an immigration crackdown. “It’s threatening, because you never know what’s next,” one student said.
