We focus primarily on providing information and networking. All the same, we also like to be involved in campaigns and (direct) actions.
We are fully aware of the fact that political and social changes (needed to tackle the nukes) only happen if enough pressure is being put on decision-makers. Of course, the ways in which groups undertake actions vary, due to cultural differences and the situation people are working in. We get involved if we think the action being undertaken makes sense, and is most effective and appropriate to the situation. Unfortunately, we don't have time to attend all the actions we'd like to.
WISE Amsterdam has been involved in actions against nuclear energy since the late 1970’s.
In the most recent years we have organized actions against transports of spent fuel from the Dutch nuclear power reactors to the reprocessing plants, against the acceptance of nuclear energy as a tool in the fight against climate change. Currently we run a campaign against the owner of the last Dutch nuclear power reactor, Borssele (see www.neebedankt.nl, only in Dutch).
