Thank you to everyone who participated in our annual Hiroshima Day procession through downtown Syracuse! Our solemn procession is meant to commemorate the horrors that resulted from the use of nuclear weapons in Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, as well as the nuclear power plant meltdowns at Fukushima and Chernobyl. Shifting nuclear tensions between the US and North Korea point to the continued relevance of such tragedies and their after-effects today. We march with remembrance of the lives lost in those nuclear disasters, and with demands for the abolishment of nuclear weapons. Photos taken by Julio Urrutia.

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."
