Peace Gathering to Commemorate 79th Anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

79 years have passed since the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is estimated that the bombs killed 210,000 citizens by the end of 1945 and, over the years, have ruined the health of many of the survivors. The average age of the Hibakusha, or atomic bomb survivors, is now 85.5 years old, and many of them are still suffering from terrible health issues. To honor the memory of those who lost their lives to the atomic bombings.

August 5, 2024, Monday, 11:50AM-1PM

In front of the Consulate General of Japan in New York, 299 Park Avenue, New York, NY (Between 49th and 48th Street)

There we will join our voices to express our sincere regrets and apologies for our nations’ atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

We will also express our solidarity with all peoples and nations across the globe who say NO to any and all nuclear weapons, NO to mining for radioactive fuel, no to manufacturing them, NO to upgrading them, NO to storing them, NO to proliferating them, NO to threatening their use, simply NO! And we will say a resounding YES to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), calling for both the U.S. and Japan to sign and ratify it along with the 70 nations that have already done so.

In addition, we will call on our own U.S. government to stop ratcheting up provocative military exercises in East Asia; to stop pressuring the Kishida administration to abandon Article 9, the peace Article of the Japanese Constitution; and to abandon the extravagantly expensive and unreliable Sentinel ICBM system.
Ultimately, we will proclaim irrefutably that it is the responsibility of governments to align themselves more with the will of their citizens to abolish nuclear weapons and to educate those who still need to learn.
