About the author
James Patrick Thomas
3 books1 followerWhile serving in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, Jim began advocating for nuclear disarmament as a member of the Bethlehem Peace Pilgrimage.

This included working as a paralegal for the plaintiffs in the Hanford downwinder litigation.
Interwoven with his Hanford-related positions, Jim directed life, justice and peace ministry for the Diocese of Spokane, the Archdiocese of Seattle, and the Washington State Catholic Conference. He has a master’s in religious studies from Gonzaga University. He continues to work for peace and nuclear disarmament with local and national organizations. Jim and his wife Jan live in Seattle.
