Historical Background
The Nevada Desert Experience (NDE) was founded in Oakland, California in 1984 to organize protests
against nuclear weapons and nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) 65 miles outside of Las Vegas,
Nevada. It is a Franciscan and Roman Catholic organization with roots in earlier movements started by
Quakers in 1957. In 1977, to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of Quaker protests at the NTS, Sister
Rosemary Lynch organized a similar event, and over the next five years, Lynch and several others returned
to the NTS to protest. In 1982, in celebration of Saint Francis of Assisi's 800th birthday and the 25th

anniversary of the Quaker protest, Lynch, Father Louis Vitale, theology student Michael Affleck, and others
organized a six-week protest at the NTS to coincide with the Christian observance of Lent. The organizers
and participants decided to hold a protest annually, calling it the Lenten Desert Experience.
The 1983 protest further inspired the participants to create a formal organization, and they incorporated the
Nevada Desert Experience in May 1984. The following year, the NDE organized the first August Desert
Witness, which would become another annual event.
Between 1986 and 1994, more than 536 demonstrations were held at the NTS, leading to almost 16,000
arrests, including the arrests of six Democratic members of the U.S. Congress, actors Martin Sheen, Robert
Blake, and Kris Kristofferson, and astronomer Carl Sagan. In 1992, the United States halted its full-scale
nuclear weapons testing, but the NDE continues protesting for environmental justice and international peace,
particularly focusing on efforts against U.S. drone attacks.

August Desert Witness protests (1985-2005), the Lenten Desert Experience protests (1982-2006), and the
Millennium 2000 protests (1999-2000). Select audiocassettes have been digitized and are available as digital
