We're small. We're powerful. We're anti-nuclear. We are grass-root oriented. And we are proud of what we have achieved. We are anxious to go on, serving people with important information and skills. We have existed since 1978, in a small office with seven people working at WISE Amsterdam. We focus primarily on our role as networker. Nevertheless, 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 you're 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 to all the actions we'd like to. It is a strong wish on the part of WISE Amsterdam to run its own campaigns. But when this is not possible, we will join and support others. Having been part of the international anti-nuclear movement for almost 30 years (and with a staff similarly involved), we have gained an organization tremendously rich in experience. We have our ideas on strategic action planning, on media work, on research, on running a magazine, a library, and we are willing to share those skills and experience. WISE/NIRS Nuclear Monitor. Twenty-five years, twenty issues a year, and sometimes more. We think we are running the last regular internationally distributed magazine solely on nuclear issues. Although from time to time we discuss the necessity of publishing as many as 20 issues a year, we are encouraged by the positive response we get from people saying they highly appreciate the way the Nuclear Monitor serves their needs, especially because of the frequency of publication.
