The Coalition to Ban Depleted Uranium, in cooperation with the Riverdale-Yonkers Society for Ethical Culture, will present our second forum on the consequences of the continuing use of Depleted Uranium (DU) on Monday, June 12 from 7PM - 9 PM at the Society for Ethical Culture, 4450 Fieldston Road Bronx, NY, 10471. Our distinguished panel includes:
  • Frida Berrigan, Senior Research Assistant at the World Policy Institute, noted peace activist, writer, and daughter of activists Elizabeth McAlister and the late Philip Berrigan
  • Rev. Lucius Walker, Director of the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization(IFCO) and Founder of Pastors for Peace
  • SSgt. Raymond Ramos, one of the soldiers bringing suit against the government and featured in the documentary "Poison Dust."

The more we learn about DU, the more we understand about its devastating impact on the health and safety of civilians and military personnel, and the long range effects, both in time and distance, on the environment.
