Rocky Flats Truth Force
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rocky Flats Truth Force was a grass-roots non-violent anti-nuclear movement formed during protests at the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant near Golden, Colorado during the last years of the 1970's.[1] Protesters belonging to the group camped on the railroad tracks leading into the plant, blocking trains that delivered materials that were used to manufacture plutonium-based fission triggers for thermonuclear bombs. Several hundred people associated with the group were eventually arrested, including poets Allen Ginsburg and Peter Orlovsky and political activist Daniel Ellsberg.[2]
