Hiroshima & Nagasaki: Never Again

In the summer of 1945, the United States used atomic bombs to devastate the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This led to the creation of a new term in Japan to describe the hundreds of thousands of survivors – hibakusha, or bomb-affected people – many of whom used their remaining years to uplift a common dream for humanity, a world free from nuclear weapons.

Lesser known are the tens of thousands of domestic victims of the U.S. nuclear weapons program, Downwinders, Atomic Veterans, and other communities, who have likewise called for nuclear disarmament.

As the U.S. government recklessly races ahead with plans to produce hundreds of new nuclear bomb cores, it again puts workers and marginalized communities at risk of radioactive contamination and raises the chances of a global disaster. Join hibakusha, Atomic Veterans, and a global community in calling for a safer world, free from new nuclear weapons.
