A time to mourn, not to celebrate! Instead of honoring the more than 200,000 people who lost their lives on August 6, 1945, at Hiroshima and on August 9 at Nagasaki, the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space “Museum” is hosting a “Happy Birthday, Intrepid” party for children on the warship that day. The ship’s actual anniversary is Aug. 16. See our letter to the Intrepid.

Join a coalition of peace and antinuclear organizations this August 6th as we demand the Intrepid publicly acknowledge the gravity of this date and call for a world free of nuclear weapons. There are two ways to join. Please join at either of the below locations and stay for as long as you choose. 

10:00 am: Meet at the Intrepid (46th St. & 12th Ave.) for leafleting, folding paper cranes, vigiling, sign & banner holding

 —or—

10:30 am: Meet in Times Square (43rd St. & 7th Ave.) at the Recruiting Station

11:00 am: March to the Intrepid (46th St. & Hudson River)

11:30 am: Demonstrate at the warship (leafleting, vigil, picketing, etc.)

See it and share it on Facebook.
