We have big news! Today, we’re releasing the first episode of our new web show Da Bomb! We’re putting nuclear weapons experts and activists in the hot seat for their spiciest takes on everything from ending the threat of nuclear war, to eating some delicious wings.
Created by BombSquad activists, Da Bomb is hosted by #FutureFirst fellowship alumni Calvin Ryerse. As he writes “The people interviewed across these five episodes decided to dedicate their everyday, normal lives to the simple idea that maybe the world would be a better place without the existential threat of a nuclear war. And these aren’t your generic stale-looking middle-aged white men, oh so common in the nuclear space. They are young, queer, and people of color who are redefining the terms of how nuclear issues are worked on. It was my pleasure to sit down with each of them, eat some very hot wings, and talk about how everyday normal people work to change the world.”
Our first episode features Beyond the Bomb’s former partnships manager, and all around incredible activist, Yasmeen Silva! Join Calvin and Yasmeen as they talk about organizing for peace, their favorite books, and so much more! Watch the episode!
Projects like Da Bomb are made possible by the BombSquad activists, but we need financial support too! Can you chip in $10 a month to support our work to end the threat of nuclear war?
Onward,
Tristan and the Beyond the Bomb team
