Flash and fire consumed Hiroshima’s streets when the United States dropped an atomic bomb on August 6, 1945. Two days later Nagasaki would be engulfed in similar flames. Upwards of 120,000 people would be instantly killed, many more suffered and died in the fallout.

Decades later, the world has failed to learn the lessons of this horrific destruction. Today, nine nuclear-armed countries currently hold the destructive power of 135,000 Hiroshima bombs. Right now, several are already at, or terrifyingly close to, war.

Nuclear weapons being part of today's volatile geopolitics has only increased the terror, but it could get worse still. In the coming weeks, Congress could push the world even closer to a doomsday scenario by expanding the U.S. nuclear arsenal with BILLIONS more dollars for apocalyptic unnecessary weapons — that is, unless activists like us speak out today and every day.

Seventy-nine years after the U.S. bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, will you join us to reaffirm an unwavering commitment to rid ourselves of nuclear weapons?
