Baltimore Activist Alert -- November 3 - 4, 2026

 Thank you for signing Baltimore Nonviolence Center on the October 20th nationwide Day of Action. Rallies in communities across the country sent Congress a clear message: Block the funding, enforce the constitution, investigate war crimes, and support a peace deal: the American people want this war to end.

 

To keep our organizing moving forward, we're launching a running No Iran War / United for Just Peace Coalition Call. We'll meet every other Tuesday including Nov. 3 at 11 AM ET on Zoom. 

 

Join Zoom Meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84283375888?pwd=AJD53SxkmTbVbrGBvgfmeNd2m5xTgp.1

 

Each call will feature coalition experts from Washington, D.C. and around the country sharing:

 

• On-the-ground updates

Vasily Arkhipov Day: After 64 Years, The Nuclear Threat Returns

 Vasily Arkhipov Day: After 64 Years, The Nuclear Threat Returns

A Virtual Teach-In on the Current Nuclear Crisis

Tuesday, October 27, 7 to 9pm

 

Dear Friends,

 

Tuesday, October 27 marks the 64th anniversary of the day Vasily Arkhipov single-handedly saved the world from nuclear annihilation. Off the coast of Cuba, the US Navy was attacking the nuclear torpedo equipped Soviet submarine B-59 with depth charges. The ship’s captain gave the order to fire the torpedoes at the Navy flotilla. As the flotilla commander, Vasily Arkhipov countermanded the order, thus preventing a likely thermo-nuclear exchange. Today, Vasily Arkhipov is known as “The Man Who Saved the World.”

 

According to many experts, the World is again on the verge of nuclear war. The immediate causes are the Ukraine War bringing Russia and the US/NATO to the precipice of direct military confrontation, and the rapidly spreading conflagration in Southwest Asia. And, the issues of climate disruption, resource depletion, a rapidly changing geo-political landscape, and the danger of impending world-wide economic collapse greatly exacerbate the threat. The Doomsday Clock is currently set to 85 seconds to midnight, the closest ever!

 

On Thursday, October 27, Vasily Arkhipov Day, the Hiroshima Nagasaki Peace Committee is sponsoring a Virtual Teach-In on the Renewed threat of nuclear war. We are fortunate to have an outstanding panel to discuss the situation:

 

Peter Kuznick: Professor of History and Director of the Nuclear Studies Institute at American University, and co-author with Oliver Stone of The Untold History of the United States.

 

Ray McGovern: Retired CIA officer and founding member of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity.

 

Arjun Makhijani: President (retired) of the Institute for Energy & Environmental Research and Co-Founder of the Hiroshima Nagasaki Peace Committee. Arjun is the Principal Editor and co-author of Nuclear Wastelands, co-author of Target Japan, and other books.

 

John Steinbach: Long-time community activist and organizer for the Hiroshima Nagasaki Peace Committee will moderate the discussion.

 

Following the presentations, there will be community time for comments and questions. The program will be recorded and posted on the Committee website <hiroshimapeacecommittee.net>

 

Please use the Zoom link to participate.

 

John Steinbach is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
