Bob Alvarez, Presente!

Our ally, expert and friend, Bob Alvarez died yesterday July 1, 2025. He just wrote and shared on Facebook another of his brilliant vignettes a couple weeks ago.

His daughter, Amber Alvarez Torgerson, wrote the announcement on his Facebook page. He was 78.

So glad we celebrated with Bob at his Lifetime Achievement Award event and accumulated his vignettes and photos which are recorded and can be seen on the ANA website https://ananuclear.org/bob–alvarez/ 

[also, a recording of the 1.5 hour long Lifetime Achievement Award event is also posted there]

and more on the Institute for Policy Studies website https://ips-dc.org/robert-alvarez-a-life-in-activism/

The radiation battles he and his wife, Kitty Tucker, fought and won or partly won, with many of us, are still before us and resurfacing in this dangerous time— and no one better than we who learned from and worked with them to continue —to bring more allies in— and to keep the ground we’ve won and gain more.
