To help resist the evil of nuclear weaponry and the mindset of "deterrence" through the threat of annihilation, EPIC is supporting the Boulder-based Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center (RMPJC) in their work of educating the public and empowering people to confront our nation's deep involvement with weapons of mass destruction.

In 2003 and 2004 the RMPJC helped organize "Adopt-a-Missile Silo" protests in Colorado. Peace groups from around the state each "adopted" one of the missile silos. Several hundred people dispersed themselves to stand vigil at the 49 missile silos located in northeastern Colorado. The groups (including a number of EPIC members and supporters) staged symbolic protests, sang, engaged in drama, prayed, and stood in silent opposition at these ominous locations.

Nuclear weapons pose an almost incomprehensible threat to life on earth. EPIC's support of groups who non-violently resist the development and deployment of such weapons is an important part of our witness.
