Never Again! A Call for Nuclear Abolition

For more than 50 years, the courageous voices of the hibakusha survivors of the bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki, have called the world to abolish nuclear weapons. 66 years after the destruction of Hiroshima, you can add your voice to theirs at the place the bomb was born — the Y12 Nuclear Weapons Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

The nuclear nightmare that began in Hiroshima is not over. Today, the Y12 Plant, where the uranium for the Little Boy bomb was enriched, is still actively producing nuclear weapons components — and if the government is not stopped, a new $6.5 billion bomb plant will be built at Y12.

The Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance will mark Hiroshima Day with three events on August 6, 2011. The events will provide an opportunity to demonstrate solidarity with the hibakusha whose numbers are dwindling, but whose witness to the atrocity of the bomb remains strong.

Events will continue through the weekend until the night of August 9, Nagasaki Day. Click on the link on this page to learn more details.
