Hiroshima Day Procession

Monday, August 6, 2018 (gather at 11:30am), march from 12:00pm – 1:00pm

Behind City Hall Commons, Syracuse, New York 13202

Join us as we commemorate the tragedies of Hiroshima Day & Nagasaki Day, and march with hope for a peaceful future and a world free of nuclear weapons and nuclear power.

The atrocities at Hiroshima and Nagasaki mark the beginning of the age of nuclear terror. In opposing the use of nuclear power and weapons, we also remember the melt-downs and explosions at the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant and the Chernobyl reactor. The horrific effects of nuclear disasters in all these places have and continue to cause immense suffering.  The U.S. continues to engage in international war-posturing, including threats of nuclear war with weapons hundreds of times more powerful than the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs.

We will gather BEHIND City Hall Commons between 11:30-12, step off at 12 pm and march to the Everson museum. The march is about 45 minutes long, and we will close with some short speeches on the ongoing relevance of this day amidst the current global nuclear threat.

In order for this to be a striking and impactful event, we will need many volunteers to carry props! Please contact michaela@peacecouncil.net to get involved.

We were thrilled to have author and peace activist Kathy Kelly with us on July 16, discussing the humanitarian catastrophe of the Saudi-led coalition's war on Yemen. As the US supplies Saudi Arabia with millions of dollars worth of weapons, Kathy urges us: "Be the cogs that stop the war machine."
