Activists have opposed nuclear weapons since the 1950s. Tom Rogers presents a phased plan for the eventual total elimination of nuclear weapons based on existing treaties, cooperative negotiation, and verification.
Tom Rogers is a 75-year-old nuclear weapons activist from Poulsbo, WA. A retired naval officer, Tom served in the U.S. Submarine Force from 1967 to 1998, including command of a nuclear attack submarine during the Cold War. After the Cold War ended in 1991, he recognized the opportunity—and the need—to abolish nuclear weapons.
An unlikely nuclear weapons abolitionist, he has been a member of Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action since 2003. Since coming to Ground Zero, he has worked hard to improve relations and communications between Naval Base Kitsap, local law enforcement, and Ground Zero. This has enabled Ground Zero to exercise its first-amendment rights outside the Bangor Trident Base with minimum intervention by authorities.
Tom has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Colorado. He lives in Poulsbo with his bride, Christine. When he’s not trying to save the world from nuclear weapons, he enjoys cycling, skiing, and adventure travelling.
