How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Art as Central Resistance and Evidentiary Practicemethodology: art_as_resistanceBy using art as a primary tool for storytelling and documentation, we make visible the harms of nuclear activities and resist erasure because artistic expression enables emotional, cultural, and historical truth-telling that institutional evidence alone cannot convey, thereby advancing nuclear justice.
- Community-Led Truth-Telling and Narrative Powermethodology: community-led_truth_tellingBy centering the stories, leadership, and lived experiences of Indigenous and nuclear-affected communities in advocacy and education, we build collective power for nuclear abolition because authentic narrative ownership fosters ethical engagement, strengthens movement legitimacy, and drives political will for justice.
- Intergenerational Harm Framing for Political Accountabilitymethodology: intergenerational_harm_framingBy framing nuclear testing as an ongoing, intergenerational violence rather than a historical event, we sustain moral and political responsibility for repair because this continuity reframes demands for justice as present-day obligations, not past grievances.
