Summary
Alternative Name(s): Button
The slogan 'Mutate Now Avoid the Rush' is part of the extensive folklore of the anti-nuclear movement that abounds with witty one-liners. The tongue-in-cheek message betrays, however, a real fear that society had reached its peak and was in decline.
Physical Description
A small badge with thin red stripes on white. In the centre is a drawing of a human head with three eyes. Left and right of the drawing is a small nuclear sumbol, red on yellow. Above and below the drawing is black text, encircling the perimeter. A pin is on the back of the badge.
