Global Zero "Bike Around the Bomb" at the Nuclear Security Summit

There are between 20-22 US-owned B-61 nuclear bombs stationed in the Netherlands and none of them address today’s security threats.  In The Hague on March 23, 2014, the day before the Nuclear Security Summit, Global Zero brought together people of all ages to cycle the fire-blast radius of one of those bombs to raise public awareness.

There is no need for U.S. nuclear weapons in Europe and it's time world leaders begin the conversation to eliminate this threat once and for all.  Security is NOT 17,000 nuclear weapons. #DemandZero
