Thank you to everyone who participated in one or more events to commemorate the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. On Tuesday, August 8, a coalition of peace activists gathered in front of the Japan Consulate General to join our voices and express our sincere regrets and apologies for the US atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

We also encourage you to take action toward ensuring that nuclear weapons are never used again by urging your members of Congress to support H. Res. 77, which calls on the United States to embrace the goals and provisions of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) and to adopt Back from the Brink’s comprehensive policy prescriptions for preventing nuclear war (endorsed by Brooklyn For Peace.)
