The UC Nuclear Free Campaign benefits from the combined efforts of campus and community groups throughout California and New Mexico. While UC Nuclear Free serves as the name of the education and action-oriented campaign, another name represents the various organizations working on the campaign – the Coalition to Demilitarize the University of California. This name acknowledges that nuclear weapons are just the tip of the iceberg, yet still the grossest example of a larger trend being an increasing militarization of our schools, communities, and global society.
