Hundreds more in the US and abroad participated via a web broadcasting of the event. The conference brought together students, academics, and community members to not only discuss the security and public health threats posed by nuclear weapons and global warming, but to hear about solutions that can help lead us to a healthier and more secure world. A half-day session on Saturday, October 13th brought together local and state activists with national PSR leaders to discuss specific ways to address the issues, as well as a way for disarmament and global warming activists to collaborate in sharing their concerns with political leaders and the general public. The uniqueness of the conference was noted by a number of speakers, who reflected, not only on the importance of confronting these major threats to survival, but on the links between the issues. For example, pursuing increased reliance on nuclear power to confront global warming brings its own problems through heightened proliferation dangers and the health risks associated with the transportation and handling of nuclear waste. Noted speakers included Joseph Cirincione, of the Center for American Progress, Doug Shaw, PSR, and Brenda Ekwurzel of the Union of Concerned Scientists.
