By

Stepping Out For Peace is a history of activism carried out by People for Nuclear Disarmament and the Campaign Against Nuclear Energy in Australia.

Introduction

Stepping Out For Peace is an oral history of activism carried out by Western Australian groups People for Nuclear Disarmament (WA) and its forerunner the Campaign Against Nuclear Energy. It includes a detailed and heavily illustrated account of campaigns from the 1970s onwards against uranium mining, nuclear reactors, nuclear weapons, and militarism. In doing so it provides inspirations for today’s campaigners as well as insights into many facets of community activism. It was compiled by Barbara Kearns. Thanks to David Worth and PND for permission to make the book available as a PDF.
