Who We Are-Our Mission-Goals- Purpose
● The Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance (OREPA) is a dedicated group of individuals bound by a steadfast belief in the power of collective action to shape a better world. Despite the wisdom of their years, they remain unwavering in their conviction that nonviolent methods, including speaking at public hearings, grassroots organizing, public workshops, civil resistance actions, and letters to the editor, hold the key to a future free from the threat of nuclear weapons.
● Committed to the principles of nonviolence, OREPA employs a multifaceted approach to its mission. Our primary objective is halting nuclear weapons production at the Y12 Nuclear Weapons Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, while also safeguarding the environment from the impact of both past and present activities at the Oak Ridge Nuclear Reservation.
● In addition to our advocacy efforts, we actively cultivate a culture of nonviolent community within East Tennessee. As a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit grassroots organization, we extend an open invitation to all who share our vision of a peaceful world to join us in our endeavors.
● At OREPA, we believe that together, through persistent action and unwavering commitment, we can build a future defined by peace and environmental stewardship.
