SUMMARY:Remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki
DESCRIPTION:SIGN-UP HERE \nRemembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki \nHonoring victims. Committing to nuclear abolition.  \n81 years ago an atomic weapon was used to destroy the city of Hiroshima\, unleashing a degree of wartime horror never before seen. Three days later\, another atomic bomb devastated Nagasaki. For a brief period\,  through determined activism and a few enlightened leaders\, risks of nuclear war were reduced via treaties and nuclear weapons reduction. Today\, however\, many treaties have been allowed to expire\, and the 9 nuclear nations are re-building their nuclear arsenals\, while additional countries attempt to acquire them. New weapons are far more destructive than those used 81 years ago. A few countries\, including the US\, have recently threatened nuclear weapon use\, an act generally considered taboo.  \nIt is time to raise our voices once again.  \n Join us to say “NO NUKES!” \nUniversity United Methodist Church | 1085 E. Genesee St. | Syracuse \nFriday\, August 7\, 2026 | 4:30-6:30pm  \nProcession: Gather at 4:30\, route is 1.2 miles  \nReception: 6 pm – 6:30pm   \nSpeakers:  \nYouko Yamamoto\, main organizer of the Bon-Odori Dance Festival for Peace in Kingston\, NY\, is well known as a peace activist\, cultural ambassador\, and owner/chef of Tanma Ramen Restaurant. \nBorn in Yokohama\, Yamamoto moved with her family to Hiroshima at age 10\, where the devastating legacy of the city’s 1945 nuclear catastrophe became a lifelong impetus for her work for peace. She will share with us her most recent conversations with aging Hiroshima atom bomb survivors after a spring trip to Japan\, and the inspiration for her continuing work that she gained from these interviews.  \nJoshua Reno is a socio-cultural anthropologist\, who researches various forms of waste and their impact on lives\, economies\, and social movements in the contemporary U.S. In a “spoken word” manner\, he will make real the connections between military waste and how it weaves into the uncanny\, uncountable scale of the Hiroshima bombing\, offering us a powerful\, somatic reflection on the true monstrosity of the weapon.  \nJosh is a professor at SUNY Binghamton\, and author of Military Waste: The Unexpected Consequences of Permanent War Readiness (2019\,). \n

SUMMARY:Film: Lyd
DESCRIPTION:Wed.\, March 25 | 6 pm | SPC Justice for Palestine film showing | Lyd (2025)  | 2013 E. Genesee St. | Syracuse | top floor | parking in the rear | building is accessible | event is free and open to the public \nJoin us\, grab a bag of popcorn and watch Lyd! \nThe story of Lyd is the story of Palestine. This sci-fi documentary follows the rise and fall of Lyd – a 5\,000-year-old metropolis that was once a bustling Palestinian town until it was conquered when the State of Israel was established in 1948. \nThe film is an exploration of what it once was\, and what it is now\, in the context of the continuing conflicts and the war in Gaza. Lyd’s excavation of one community’s complex history offers us not only lessons but possible futures. As the film unfolds\, a chorus of characters creates a tapestry of the Palestinian experience of this city and the trauma left by the massacre and expulsion\, while vivid animations envision an alternate reality where the same characters live free from the trauma of the past and the violence of the present.

Genesee St. | Syracuse. \nJoin the local Veterans for Peace (VFP) Chapter and Beyond War and Militarism/SPC in a short vigil at 4:30 pm on the front steps weather permitting if not inside. \nOn Feb. 25\, 2024\, Aaron Bushnell\, a 25-year-old active-duty member of the US Air Force\, in an act that captured the attention of the world\, set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington\, D.C. As he approached the gate to the embassy\, he spoke in a calm and steady voice: \n“I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest. But compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers\, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal. FREE PALESTINE\, FREE PALESTINE”.
