24] – The Doomsday Clock is a symbol that warns the public about existential risk. It is a metaphor, a reminder of the perils we must address if we are to survive on the planet. When the Doomsday clock was created in 1947, the greatest danger to humanity came from nuclear weapons, in particular from the nuclear arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union. Over time the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists began incorporating other threats such as climate change and disruptive technologies. This year, the Bulletin’s Science and Security board is taking many factors into consideration in setting the Clock for 2023—from the horrific war in Ukraine to the worsening climate crisis to disruptive technologies like artificial intelligence to growing concerns around biosecurity. The threats that are considered when setting the Clock are grave, horrifying, and not for the faint of heart. So, mark your calendars for the 2023 Doomsday Clock announcement on January 24. Go to https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/?utm_medium=SocialMediaDDC&utm_campaign=DoomsdayClock_Toolkit_2023.

27] – Join the Baltimore Nonviolence Center on Tues., Jan. 24 from 4 to 5 PM ET at 33rd and N. Charles Sts. The invasion of Ukraine has the potential to become a war extending throughout Europe. Putin has destroyed Aleppo and Grozny and has threatened the use of nuclear weapons. Russian soldiers were sent into the area around the contaminated and still radioactive Chernobyl nuclear plant. Now they are stationed in the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe. People who believe in peace and justice should come forward and take the risks of peace.
